In Uranium-238 and Uranium-234 does neither element have a charge?
Uranium-238 and uranium-234 are not "elements", but they are natural isotopes of the chemical element uranium. The atoms are neutral.
What is the charge of uranium 238?
Any electrical charge for the neutral atom. Uranium valences are: 3,4,5,6, 7, possible also 2 in UO.
How do you find the net electrical charge of the uranium atom?
The uranium atom is electric neutral; uranium cations exist from 2+ to 6+.
What is the ionic charge for uranium?
Uranium valences: 3,4,5,6,7, possible also 2 in the unstable oxide UO.
What is uranium's ionic charge?
Uranium valences: 3,4,5,6,7, possible also 2 in the unstable oxide UO.
What is the difference in physical properties between hydrogen uranium and carbon?
Uranium is very radioactive as it is uncontrollably seeking more electrons and giving them off as well. Hydrogen has a plus 1 charge with carbon in its common gas form having a negative 2 charge.
What element has 92 protons and 146 neutrons?
The element is Uranium , the symbol is (U). The charge is +1 because:Atomic number(Z): # of protons (92), which also tells you what element it is in the periodic table.Ion charge: # of protons (92) - # of electrons (91) = 1Mass number(A): # of protons (92) + # of neutrons (143) =235
What is in the A bomb?
Uranium 235, a conventional explosive, probably HMX used in the implosion charge, and a bunch of wires and other devices to cause the implosion trigger to detonate properly. The Uranium is the thing that makes it go boom
What are 2 molecules that contain uranium?
Examples:Oxides: uranium dioxide, uranium trioxide, uranium octaoxideSalts: ammonium diuranate, uranyl nitrate, uranyl acetate, uranium hehxafluoride, uranium chlorideand many others because uranium is a reactive metal.
What are common compounds in which uranium is found?
uranyl nitrate, uranium chloride, uranium tetrafluoride, uranium hexafluoride, uranium dioxide, uranium octaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranyl sulfate, uranyl oxalate, uranium carbide, uranium nitride, uranium sulfide, uranium sulfate, uranium selenide, etc.
What is the charge for uranium?
Protons = 92 Electrons = 92 Neutrons = 146 The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are each equal to the atomic number of the element (92). The number of neutrons equals the atomic weight minus the number of protons (238 - 92 = 146).
Why must the bullet that splits a uranium atom be neutral?
The bullet that splits a uranium atom is a neutron. Other possible bullets are protons and alpha particles. But these particles are positively charged and so will be repelled by the nucleus of the uranium atom since it contains protons in plenty. Like charges repel. So the uranium nucleus with the positive charge will repel other positive charges. Neutron is a neutral particle and so is not repelled. So a neutron is used as a bullet to split uranium atom.
