What safety precautions are needed when handling uranium-234?
No special precautions are needed for handling Uranium 234, only normal chemical laboratory procedures. But U234 is rare and without specific use, so there is no need to work with this isotope.
What is the uranium isotope with 144 neutrons?
There is no uranium isotope with 234 neutrons. The questioner almost certainly meant the uranium isotope with 234 nucleons, which is a naturally occurring isotope U234 otherwise element 92, with 142 neutrons.In which case its half life would be 252,000 years.
Will atoms of the same element have different masses?
In nature things called isotopes exist, when you say there are isotopes of element X that means that element X has the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons (different mass number)... There you have it, two atoms of the same element that have different masses due to difference in the number of neutrons in the nucleus (Isotopes)

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.
How many protons and neutrons are lost as U234 decays to Th230?
2 of each in the form of an alpha particle.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in uranium 236?
U234 occurs naturally in small amounts, 0.0054 percent of total U. 1/2 life is 245,500 years. Number of protons 92 (as for all U isotopes), neutrons 142, electrons 92.
Half life of uranium?
Uranium could theoreticaly last forever. The life of each uranium particle is random but over a large mass a half life can be calculated. Uranium-238(most common type of uranium) has a half life of 704 billion years so if you had 12500 tons of uranium after 704 billion years there would be 6250 tons. Every 704 billion years the mass would half until there was only an insignificant amount left.
