Which type of fissionable material is used in an atomic bomb?
Either highly enriched uranium-235 or reactor produced plutonium.
What 2 radioactive elements were chosen for the atomic bomb?
Uranium and Plutonium
What is the atomic number and atomic mass for plutonium?
The atomic number of plutonium (Pu) is 94. The atomic weight of Pu is approximately 244 grams per mole. See the Web Links and the Related Questions to the left of this answer for a periodic table and more information about this element.
The plutonium isotope with 145 neutrons?
And what is the question?
What are the difference between plutonium and uranium?
Uranium and plutonium are very heavy metals belonging to the element category actinide encompassing the 15 metallic chemical elements with atomic numbers from 89 to 103, actinium through lawrencium. Three uranium isotopes occur in nature versus only trace amounts of one isotope of plutonium. Of course the nuclear, chemical, physical and toxicological properties of uranium and plutonium are very different.
What are the positive enriched uranium?
- the energy released from enriched uranium is higher compared to natural uranium- the amount of uranium needed for a reactor is lower- research reactors work only with enriched uranium- atomic bombs have highly enriched uranium or plutonium
Which type of fissionable material is used in an atomic bomb?
Either highly enriched uranium-235 or reactor produced plutonium.
What is smaller in radius uranium or plutonium?
The atomic radii of uranium and plutonium are identical.
Why does plutonium have a less mass then uranium?
In their most stable forms, Uranium has an atomic mass of 238 and plutonium has an atomic mass of 244, plutonium has a greater mass than that of Uranium.
Is smaller in radius uranium or plutonium?
The atomic radii (empirical) of plutonium and uranium are identical - 175 pm.
Which atomic bomb used uranium and which used plutonium?
Hiroshima bomb: uranium Nagasaki bomb: plutonium
What goes in an atomic bomb?
uranium or plutonium
What the atomic bomb made of?
Uranium and plutonium
Why was Oak Ridge Tennessee important to the production of the Atomic Bombs used in World War two?
Uranium enrichment plantsPrototype plutonium production reactor & design of plutonium production reactors used in Hanford, WA
What are some atomic bomb gases?
Uranium &Plutonium
What elements are in the atomic bomb?
Uranium plutonium and hydrogen
What happens when plutonium fuses with uranium to make a bomb?
Nothing special. Atomic bombs can be built with either uranium, plutonium, or composite (plutonium/uranium) cores. All work the same.
