∙ 10y ago
The problems are:
- radioactivity and toxicity of uranium
- release of radon
- generally low concentration of uranium in rocks
- possible contamination of the environment

Uranium -235 and uranium -238 are different of uranium?
Isotopes Uranium 235 and uranium 238 are only natural isotopes of the element uranium.
What are two ways isotopes can be written?
Examples for an uranium isotope:22892U, U-238, uranium-238.
How is uranium prepared for use?
Since the these are two isotopes of the same element, there will not be any chemical difference between them. That leaves us trying to separate them by physical (mechanical) means. What has been traditionally done is to fluoridate the uranium and make uranium hexafluoride (UF6) and then cool and spin it in a centrifuge. These measures, when done and repeated, allow enrichment of the uranium by gaseous diffusion, which is all about lighter gases diffusing more quickly than gases that have more massive atoms or molecules as their makeup. Another industrial process for the separation of uranium isotopes is centrifugation. Others laboratory or pilot scale methods: thermal diffusion, nozzle expansion, laser techniques, electromagnetic separation (the first method applied), ion-exchange separation, etc.
What element has the least protons of mercury helium uranium nitrogen?
Helium, with only two protons per atom. In contrast, nitrogen has 7, mercury has 80, and uranium has 92.
How many electron shells dose a uranium atom have?
Uranium has 7 electron shells.The electron configuration is [Rn]5f36d17s2.
What is uranium mass when it splits?
Splitted uranium is not uranium, but other two lighter elements.
Uranium -235 and uranium -238 are different of uranium?
Isotopes Uranium 235 and uranium 238 are only natural isotopes of the element uranium.
Two atoms of uranium that differ in their number of neutrons are called?
Uranium isotopes
What is the problem with using uranium as energy?
Uranium is toxic and radioactive; leakages of uranium from mines and plants are dangerous.
Purifying the uranium two thirty five atom?
Enrichment of uranium in the isotope uranium 235 is made by gaseous diffusion or by centrifugation.
Two difficulties that you think could arise with such a scheme?
two difficulties taht you think could a rise with such a scheme?
How many moles are in 119 grams of uranium?
119 grams of uranium is equivalent to 0,5 moles.
Is uranium found in raw diamonds?
Uranium mining and diamond mining are two distinct and separate endeavors that do not occur together. There is no uranium in raw diamonds.
What chemical processes are used to create fragrant oils?
Two methods are used: solvent extraction or water vapor extraction.
What two products form most of Central Africa's export income?
Uranium and Diamonds
