Neptunium was obtained for the first time by Edwin McMillan and Philip H. Abelson in 1940 at Berkeley Laboratories.
The nuclear reactions are:
23892U + n-------23992U-------23993Np + e
Neptunium was discovered in 1940.
neptunium
Neptunium is element 93.
Before uranium is protactinium. After uranium is neptunium.
Neptunium is a member of the actinoids family.
Neptunium is a metal element. It is a solid in room temperature. It is in the f block of the Periodic Table.
Neptunium is a radioactive actinide element with the atomic number 93. It is situated in the actinide series of the periodic table, which is the row below the lanthanide series, between uranium and plutonium.
Neptunium is a member of the actinides group.
The element with chemical symbol Np is Neptunium. Neptunium is a radioactive Lanthanide and is part of the unofficial Promethium family. It has 93 electrons in 7 shells and is next to Uranium and Plutonium.
Examples: neon, uranium, iron, gold, silver, neptunium etc.
1. The planet Neptune is after the planet Uranus in the Solar system. 2. The chemical element neptunium is placed after uranium (and named neptunium) in the periodic table of Mendeleev, as an analogy.
Yes, neptunium is an artificial chemical element.
