Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are different?
Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are different isotopes of the element uranium. They have different mass numbers due to different numbers of neutrons.
You both have 10 neutrons in your nuclei what are you?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number So Fluorine = 19- 9 = 10 and Neon = 20-10 = 10 :)
Do protons circle the nucleus of an atom?
Nuclei of atoms contain protons (+) and neutrons. The electrons (-) circle the nucleus on orbitals, forming the electron cloud. In a balanced or neutral atom, there will be the same number of protons in the nucleus as there are electrons outside of the nucleus. The number of neutrons can vary within the same element; that's how you get isotopes (e.g. Carbon-13 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 7 neutrons...The 13 is the atomic mass representing the sum of the protons and neutrons)
What is the name of the worlds largest high energy particle accelerator in Switzerland?
LHC - Large Hadron Collider (Hadron is a type of particle of which the protons and neutrons that make up atomic nuclei are examples.)
How do you separate uranium from water?
What do you mean. Uranium is not soluble in water.
Do protons hit uranium causing it to split?
Protons do not directly hit uranium to cause it to split. Uranium undergoes nuclear fission when bombarded by neutrons, not protons. The neutrons are absorbed by the uranium nucleus, leading to its splitting into smaller nuclei and the release of energy.
When uranium 235 is struck with a neutron the krypton 92 and barium 141 nuclei are produced along with some neutrons how many neutrons are produced?
The average number of neutrons per nuclear fission is 2,5.
Uranium 235 and uranium 238 are isotope are chemically different why?
An isotope means an atom with the same amount of electrons and protons, but with different amount of neutrons.Relative weight of a neutron is 1, a proton is 1, and an electron is very small. So weight of an atom is approx. mneutrons + m protons.So, an uranium-235, as U is the 92th atom in periodic table, contains 92 protons, 92 electrons to be chargeless, and 143 (=235-92) neutrons.An uranium-238, from the definition of isotope, contains 92 protons, 92 electrons, and 146 (=238-92) neutrons.The difference is the 3 neutrons.
Do uranium nuclei split during nuclear fission?
if the fission was of uranium, then yes. but many transuranic elements (e.g. plutonium, americium) also fission.
What nuclear process is happening during the main sequence?
Nuclear fission. It realeases nuclear energy by spitting big atomic nuclei, usually those of uranium. Neutrons are fired at the nuclei. As the neutrons smash into the nuclei they split off more neutrons, which bombard other nuclei, setting of a chain reaction, which makes energy.
How many neutrons in a uranium of 230?
Uranium-230 is a radioactive isotope of uranium with 142 neutrons.
What is produced when uranium nuclei is bombarded with neutrons?
This depends on a lot of things. When a neutron collides with an uranium atom, it might bounce off, cause the atom to decay, or be captured into the atom. But which it does depends on the isotope of the atom, the temperature of the atom, and the velocity of the neutron. My understanding is that it can cause any isotope of uranium to decay, and certainly it can bounce off any, but it can only be captured by U233, U234, or U235; the other isotopes of uranium, U236, and U238, will not capture neutrons. The interactions of various isotopes of different temperatures with neutrons of different velocities is complicated, and no simple rule about it can be stated.
What process takes place when uranium-235 splits into two smaller nuclei plus neutrons?
This process is called nuclear fission.
How many neutrons are in a normal uranium atom?
Uranium has 92 electrons and protons.Uranium-234 has 142 neutrons, uranium-235 has 143 neutrons and uranium-238 has 146 neutrons.
What process takes place when uranium -235 splits into two smaller nuclei plus neutrons?
The process is called nuclear fission. When uranium-235 splits, it releases a large amount of energy along with smaller nuclei and multiple neutrons. This chain reaction continues as these neutrons can cause additional uranium-235 atoms to undergo fission.
What is the nuclei of uranium?
The nucleus of uranium typically contains 92 protons and varying numbers of neutrons, depending on the isotope. Common isotopes of uranium include uranium-235 and uranium-238, which have 143 and 146 neutrons respectively.
Does U-235 have fewer neutrons than common uranium?
Uranium-235 has 143 neutrons; uranium-238 has 146 neutrons. Each isotope has a different number of neutrons.
