Nuclear fission
What is more radioactive uranium or plutonium?
There are numerous isotopes of both plutonium and uranium ( all radioactive) thus it is not easy to say which element is more radioactive. However the half lives of the most active isotpe of each compound is follows241Pu has a half life of 14 years232U has a half life of 68.9 yearsSo in terms of activity, Plutonium is more radioactive; however uranium stays radioactive for a longer time.The specific activity of plutonium is greater than the specific activity of uranium (comparison between 239Pu and 238U).

How can you tell if a substance is radioactive?
With a geiger counter. It can detect radioactive particles. That is the most common, modern way. In Ernest Rutherford's 'Gold Foil' Experiment, he visible saw radioactive particles by using a sheet of Zinc Sulfide that lit up when it was hit by an alpha particle (form of radiation).

Water is an amphoteric substance.
What do all the compounds in plutonium have in common?
All are radioactive materials.
