What is difference between plutonium 238 and 240?
Plutonium-238 has 144 neutrons, plutonium-240 has 146 neutrons. Atomic mass and half life are also different.
How many electronsprotons and neutrons are there in an atom of Plutonium 28?
Plutonium-238 has 94 protons, 94 electrons and 144 neutrons.
Is radium used in pacemakers?
Probably not, but the radioactive isotope Plutonium-238 is used in nuclear-powered pacemakers.
What element uses breeder reactor uranium or plutonium?
Uranium and plutonium are both actinides that are used in nuclear reactors.
In a breeder reactor a. Plutonium is converted into uranium or b. Uranium is converted into plutonium?
Uranium. A breeder reactor can use either Uranium, Plutonium, or mixed Transuranic elements for fuel. Depleted Uranium or Thorium is used as the breeding blanket. Periodically the breeding blanket is changed: the old one reprocessed to make new fuel.
Where does the plutonium come from?
Uranium 238 is bombarded by neutrons, and forms Neptunium 238. Neptunium decays to form Plutonium 238.
Where does the element plutonium come from?
Uranium 238 is bombarded by neutrons, and forms Neptunium 238. Neptunium decays to form Plutonium 238.
Why did the US shut down the production of plutonium 238 in the 1980s?
In this period plutonium-238 from Russia was cheaper.
What is difference between plutonium 238 and 240?
Plutonium-238 has 144 neutrons, plutonium-240 has 146 neutrons. Atomic mass and half life are also different.
What plutonium isotope has 144 neutrons?
This is the isotope plutonium-238: 23894Pu.
Plutonium-238 decomposes by emitting a particle what is the other product of this decomposition 238 pu 94?
Plutonium 238 is an alpha emitter; the decay product is uranium 234.
Is plutonium-238 a liquid?
no. it is a solid isotope and is the least harmful of the plutonium isotopes.
What elements were used to make plutonium?
The isotope uranium-238 is the source of plutonium.
What are some example of plutonium?
Examples are: plutonium metal, isotope Pu-238, plutonium dioxide, plutonium sulfide, plutonium nitrate, plutonium carbide etc.
What is the other product of this decomposition when Plutonium-238 decomposes by emitting a particle?
Plutonium 238 is an alpha emitter; the decay product is uranium 234.
How do you make plutonium in Doodle God?
in doodle god episode 2 you can make plutonium by mixing metal and radiation and to make a nuclear bomb you mix plutonium with weapon
How did they find plutonium?
Plutonium was prepared for the first time in December 1940 at Berkeley Laboratory by Glenn Seaborg and collaborators using this nuclear reaction:U-238 + D........Np-238 + 2 n.........Pu-238 + e-
