Uranium is a heavy natural element, radioactive, solid, having three natural isotopes an many artificial isotopes; uranium release a great quantity of energy under nuclear fission with thermal neutrons. Uranium is used as a fuel in nuclear power reactors and as an explosive in nuclear weapons. Uranium can form a great number of chemical compounds with the majority of chemical elements and also can form many alloys.
Uranium is a toxic element but a very valuable material for energy and war.

What else can I help you with?
Would you expect neodymium and uranium to have similar properties?
No, neodymium and uranium have different properties due to their different atomic structures and positions on the periodic table. Neodymium is a rare-earth metal with magnetic properties, while uranium is a radioactive heavy metal with nuclear properties.
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.
Is uranium a physical or chemical property?
What is the question exactly? If it is about Uranium having physical and/or chemical properties, the answer is that it has both. Every single element and compound in this universe has both physical and chemical properties.
Would you expect neodymium and uranium to similar properties?
Uranium and neodymium are very different chemical elements.

What are the differences between uranium-235 and uranium-238 in terms of their nuclear properties and applications?
Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are two isotopes of uranium with 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 mainly used in depleted uranium ammunition and as a source of fuel for nuclear reactors. The main difference between the two isotopes is their nuclear properties and applications.
Is uranium polar or nonpolar?
Uranium is a metal, so it is not considered polar or nonpolar in the same way that molecules are. Its polarity is not relevant in the context of its chemical properties.
What is the name of the man who discover that the uranium was giving off radioactivity?
Uranium's radioactive properties were discovered in 1896 by Antoine Becquerel.
What are environmental properties for uranium?
1. Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment (soils, waters, vegetation). 2. Uranium is a toxic and radioactive chemical element. 3. Uranium release radium and radon.
What was used before uranium?
Before uranium discovery and before the 150 years long study of its properties the nuclear energy was nonexistent.
What are chemical properties of this the element uranium?
Uranium is a metal, radioactive and reactive - the electronegativity after Pauling is 1,38. Uranium react with all nonmetals (excepting noble gases) and metalloids. Valences are 2,3,3,4,5,6. Uranium is easy oxidized in air at the surface.
