Plutonium was discovered by Glenn Seaborg and Edwin McMillan in 1940, at Berkeley Laboratories.
Uranium is not easily obtained; and the technology of plutonium is extremely difficult.
Plutonium compounds typically involve plutonium in its various oxidation states. Examples include plutonium dioxide (PuO2) and plutonium chloride (PuCl3). These compounds are often used in nuclear technology and research.
Plutonium is not used in the human body.
Yes, plutonium is used in nuclear weapons.
Plutonium is not used in batteries.
Applications of plutonium: - explosive in nuclear weapons - nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors - the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators) - neutron generator, as Pu-Be source
Plutonium is used for nuclear fuels not for control rods.
Plutonium is not used in everyday life.
Plutonium is not commonly used in gold mining. Plutonium is a highly radioactive element that is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons, but it is not typically associated with gold mining processes.
