What else can I help you with?
Scientists make elements heavier then uranium in machines called?
Particle accelerators and nuclear reactors
What makes uranium lighter than other elements?
Uranium is not lighter but heavier than many of the other elements; the density of uranium is 19,05 g/cm3 and the atomic weight is 238,02891.
Why did scientists think that Uranium was the last element?
Uranium is only the last natural element. We know many artificial transuranic elements.
Small stars create small elements why?
Elements are the same size regardless of how they are synthesized. It is true, however, that small stars create fewer elements, and that the elements they create are lighter. A normal G-type star can, during the course of its evolution along the Main Sequence, produce elements up to iron. For elements heavier than that, larger stars are required; when they go nova, they can produce elements as heavy as uranium and beyond.
How does uranium come from the sun?
Uranium is not directly produced by the sun. Uranium is formed through the process of supernova nucleosynthesis during the explosion of massive stars. Elements like uranium are created during supernova explosions, where the intense heat and pressure fusion lighter elements into heavier ones.
What are the top two elements used to produce nuclear energy?
Uranium and plutonium
What elements are heavier than hydrogen?
All of them. There are no elements lighter than hydrogen. It has only two atomic particles, and you cannot have an element with less.
All of the elements heavier than oxygen are created by fusion reactions in?
stars through processes such as supernova explosions. These reactions involve the fusion of lighter elements to create heavier ones, including elements like gold, uranium, and plutonium.
What element is heavier than Bismuth?
There are as many as 17 elements which are denser (and therefore heavier) than gold. Most of them are transuranic elements, almost all of which have a half-life measured in fractions of a second.The densest of the non-transuranic elements is osmium, which is about 17% heavier than gold. It is closely followed by iridium, then platinum and rhenium.
How are elements heavier than iron formed in the universe?
Elements heavier than iron are formed through processes like supernova explosions, where the intense heat and pressure create conditions for nuclear fusion to occur, leading to the synthesis of heavier elements. This process is known as nucleosynthesis and is crucial for the creation of elements like gold, uranium, and beyond in the universe.
What are the heavier elements in this universe formed by?
Heavier elements in the universe are primarily formed through nuclear fusion processes within the cores of stars. Elements beyond iron are typically formed in supernova explosions, where the extreme conditions allow for the synthesis of elements such as gold, silver, and uranium.
Is lead heavier than uranium?
Yes, uranium is more dense (heavier) than lead.
