Uranium is a radioactive metal.

Petroleum is a complex mixture of organic compounds. Petroleum is a fossil fuel.

All is different between uranium and petroleum.

But uranium nuclear fission and petroleum burning release valuable energy.

What are the same and different between uranium and plutonium?

Uranium has to be refined to be used and can actually be used as a power source.


What is the same between uranium 235 and uranium 238?

The both have 92 protons in their nucleus and the same chemical properties. Their NUCLEAR properties are different.


Uranium -235 and uranium -238 are different of uranium?

Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are isotopes of uranium, meaning they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Uranium-235 is used in nuclear reactors and weapons due to its ability to sustain a nuclear chain reaction, while uranium-238 is more abundant in nature but less useful for these purposes.


What are the similarities and differences between the isotopes uranium 235 and uranium 238?

Similarities: Both uranium-235 and uranium-238 are isotopes of uranium, meaning they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. They are both radioactive and can undergo nuclear fission. Differences: Uranium-235 is the primary isotope used for nuclear fuel and weapons due to its higher susceptibility to fission compared to uranium-238. Uranium-238 is more abundant in nature, constituting over 99% of natural uranium, while uranium-235 is less common.


Is plutonium and enriched uranium the same thing?

Plutonium and enriched uranium are different materials.Enriched uranium is uranium with a concentration of the isotope 235U greater than the natural concentration of 0,7 %.


Are uranium 235 and uranium 238 said to be radioactive molecules since they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons?

No, Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are radioactive, natural isotopes (not molecules, but atoms) of the one and the same element: uranium.Both with 92 protons and 235-92 = 143 neutrons in U-235 but 146 neutrons in U-238.


What are isotopes and how do you label them?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element but with a different number of neutrons.Example for the isotope 228 of uranium:- uranium-228- U-228-- 22892U


Is petroleum the same as oil?

Oil and petroleum are the same thing.


How are uranium238 and uranium 235 the same?

Uranium-238 and uranium-235 are both isotopes of uranium, meaning they have the same number of protons in their nucleus. They are both naturally occurring and radioactive, with uranium-235 being used in nuclear reactors and weapons due to its ability to sustain a nuclear chain reaction. Uranium-238 can also undergo nuclear reactions but is less commonly used for this purpose.


Do Isotopes of uranium have different atomic numbers?

No. By definition isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (that is what makes them uranium, for example) but different numbers of neutrons (neutral particules in the nucleus which provide mass).


What are the similarities and differences between the isotopes uranium-235 and uranium-238?

Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are the isotopes of the same element - uranium, a natural radioactive chemical element; the atomic number is the same - 92. Also the electronic structure, the number of protons, etc. Differences: atomic mass, number of neutrons, U-235 is fissile with thermal neutrons but U-238 is only fertile, halflife, type of disintegration types and energy of emitted radiations, etc.


Depleted uranium is chemically thee same as natural uranium but?

Has had most of the uranium-235 (an isotope of uranium)) separated out of it.
