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.
Uranium -235 and uranium -238 are different of uranium?
Isotopes Uranium 235 and uranium 238 are only natural isotopes of the element uranium.
What is the number of protons and neutrrons in a nucleus of uranium?
Uranium's atomic number is 92. Thus, all isotopes of uranium have 92 protons. The most common isotope of uranium is 238U, which has 238 - 92 = 146 neutrons.
Why does plutonium have a less mass than uranium?
The atomic mass of the most common isotope of plutonium (Pu-234) is higher than the masses of the uranium natural isotopes.
What are the two most common isotopes used as nuclear fuels?
in reactors: yellowcake, a uranium oxide; after that probably metallic uraniumin stars: ordinary hydrogen; after that helium

How big is an isotope of uranium?
There are 3 major isotopes of uranium: Uranium-238, 235, and 234. These numbers are the amount of neutrons in the nucleus. Since Uranium only has 92 protons, this makes these isotopes VERY neutron-heavy!Uranium-238 is the most common in nature, followed by 235, then 234. All these are radioactive isotopes. Because there are so many neutrons in Uranium, it makes it fissile -- easy to split.

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

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.
If uranium atomic number is 92 and it has 10 neutrons how many?
You can't have that combination. Such an atom wouldn't be stable - not even for a tiny fraction of a second.The atomic mass is the sum of the atomic number (i.e., the number of protons), and the number of neutrons.
What do all sodium isotopes have in common and how do they difference?
They have the same number of protons and electrons.
What are the fertile isotopes of Uranium?
There are many isotopes for uranium, the most abundant of them in nature are:Uranium- 234, having 142 neutron and 92 protonUranium- 235, having 143 neutron and 92 protonUranium- 238, having 146 neutron and 92 protonThe abundance of these three isotopes in natural uranium is:Uranium-234: 0.006 %Uranium-235: 0.720 %Uranium-238: 99.274 %
