∙ 11y agoUranium-235 is the only naturally occurring fissile isotope of Uranium.
Uranium-233 is also fissile, but is produced by the neutron irradiation of Thorium-232.

Uranium -235 and uranium -238 are different of uranium?
Isotopes Uranium 235 and uranium 238 are only natural isotopes of the element uranium.
What isotope uranium is radioactive?
Yes.......most likely. I can't think of anything to do with Uranium, that isn't radioactive! -------- Uranium natural isotopes are not so radioactive compared with other isotopes; but all the isotopes of uranium are radioactive.
Is the isotope of uranium you found in a stable r radioactive?
All the isotopes of uranium are unstable.Natural isotopes of uranium are: 234, 235 and 238.
What is the main use of isotopes of uranium?
235U is a fissionable isotope and 238U is a fertile isotope; these isotopes are extremely important in the production of nuclear energy. Also uranium is used by the United States, United Kingdom and Russia to threaten with nuclear bombs the other countries, without nuclear weapons.
What are uranium atoms?
Uranium has three natural isotopes and many artificial isotopes. Uranium 238 has 92 protons and electrons and also 146 neutrons.
Uranium -235 and uranium -238 are different of uranium?
Isotopes Uranium 235 and uranium 238 are only natural isotopes of the element uranium.
Can all types of uranium be used in making electricity in a reactor?
Uranium-235 and uranium-233 (obtained from thorium-232) are fissile isotopes and used as nuclear fuels. Uranium-238 is fissionable with fast neutrons but the important use is as fertile material (to obtain plutonium-239). Other uranium isotopes are without use.
How many isotopes uranium has?
Uranium has 3 natural isotopes (234, 235, 238) and 26 artificial isotopes.All the isotopes of uranium are radioactive.

Is uranium and plutonium the most common istopoes for nuclear power?
The most important isotopes for nuclear reactors are: - fissile isotopes: U-233, U-235, Pu-239, Pu-241 - fertile isotopes: Th-232, U-238

Uranium has three natural isotopes and many artificial isotopes. Uranium 238 has 92 protons and electrons and also 146 neutrons.
Does uranium not have a stable isotope?
Uranium hasn't stable isotopes.
Is uranium naturally occurring or is it syntherically made?
Uranium has three natural isotopes: 234, 235 and 238; also uranium has ca. 25 artificial isotopes.
Why uranium is most common in isotopes?
The most common isotope of uranium is uranium-238.
Are uranium 235 and uranium 238 said to be radioactive molecules since they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons?
No, Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are radioactive, natural isotopes (not molecules, but atoms) of the one and the same element: uranium.Both with 92 protons and 235-92 = 143 neutrons in U-235 but 146 neutrons in U-238.
