Wyoming is the state with the most uranium production in the United States. The state is home to numerous uranium mines, making it a significant source of uranium for nuclear power generation.
More than 99%of naturally occurring uranium is U-238. The valuable U-235 makes up less than 1% of uranium, and must be "enriched" in complicated processes.

I think uranium has the higgest number of electrons of all the naturally found elements. Uranium in its stable state have 92 protons and 92 electons but the thing that makes it radioactive is the number of neutrons (146). Purification of uranium from uranium oxide is really expensive.
Now only Namibia, Niger and South Africa are important producers of uranium.
Uranium is a solid metal.
The oxidation state of uranium in uranium iodide is +4. This is because iodine typically has an oxidation state of -1 and there are four iodine atoms in uranium iodide. So, to balance the charge, uranium must have an oxidation state of +4.
There are 3 major isotopes of uranium: Uranium-238, 235, and 234. These numbers are the amount of neutrons in the nucleus. Since Uranium only has 92 protons, this makes these isotopes VERY neutron-heavy!Uranium-238 is the most common in nature, followed by 235, then 234. All these are radioactive isotopes. Because there are so many neutrons in Uranium, it makes it fissile -- easy to split.
Virginia Now, probably Wyoming.
The most common isotope of uranium is uranium-238.
Uranium is a solid metal at room temperature.
most metals in their natural state are not green of flourescent. uranium in it's natural state is silver grey, but some forms can be made to look green under a blacklight or other curcumstances.
