What family is plutonium in?
The actinides (or actinoids) family contain the following elements: actinium, thorium, protactinium, uranium, neptunium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, nobelium, lawrentium; beginning with neptunium the elements are only artificially obtained.
What is the atomic mass of Venus'?
No element name Venus exists. Elements' name derived from planets are Mercury, Uranium, Neptunium, and Plutonium
What is pluton made of?
A very small amount of plutonium is found in nature. The majority of it is produced artificially.The majority of plutonium is made in nuclear reactors:uranium-238 captures a neutron, becoming uranium-239uranium-239 undergoes beta decay, becoming neptunium-239 (halflife 23.5 minutes)neptunium-239 undergoes beta decay, becoming plutonium-239 (halflife 2.33 days)plutonium is then chemically separated from the remaining uranium, neptunium, etc.
What are other elements named after heavenly bodies?
Multiple elements as listed by the Periodic Table of the Elements are named after bodies in the Cosmos. Helium (He) regards Greek Helios; the Sun. Mercury (Hg), Uranium (Ur), Neptunium (Np), and Plutonium (Pu) as in the planets, are others.
Elements named after planets and heavenly bodies?
Mercury the element is not really named after mercury the heavenly body: both are named after the Roman messenger god, Mercury. Similarly it is unclear whether uranium is named after uranus the planet or Uranus the mythical Roman god. Neptunium and plutonium definitely are named after the planets, and there is also selenium, named after the moon, and helium, named after the sun.

Ex.: neptunium, deuterium (isotope of H)
Elements beyond uranium in the periodic table do not exist?
All the elements after uranium exist but excepting neptunium and plutonium (present in the earth crust only in ultratrace concentrations) they are man made.
How was neptunium separated into individuals elements?
Neptunium is an individual element; isotopes of neptunium are not separated.
