Neptunium trifluoride is an intermediate for the preparation of neptunium metal.
Neptunium is a metal.
The three common compounds of neptunium are neptunium dioxide (NpO2), neptunium trichloride (NpCl3), and neptunium tetrafluoride (NpF4).
Neptunium is an individual element; isotopes of neptunium are not separated.
Yes, neptunium is a metal.
Neptunium is not in foods.
Neptunium(IV) oxide or neptunium dioxide is the chemical compound composed of neptunium and oxygen with the formula NpO2. It forms dark olive[4] green cubic crystals[1].
No use today; neptunium trifluoride is used to prepare neptunium metal.
Neptunium is an artificial element.Amounts of natural neptunium are absolutely nonsignificant.
Electron configuration of neptunium: [Rn]7s26d15f4
Neptunium atom is neutral; ions of neptunium have valences between 3 and 7.
Neptunium has 93 protons.
