- alpha particles
- gamma radiation (not strong, approx. 180 keV)
- neutrons fro the spontaneous fission

How does the radiation emitted from the sun differ from the radiation emitted by earth?
In fact, radiations are reflected by earth but not emitted.
What kind of radiation is emitted from protactinium?
Protactinium-231 emit alpha particles, gamma radiations, X-rays.
How many shells does uranium have?
Uranium has seven electron shells.
What is the atomic number of uranium and how many neutrons does the isotope uranium-235 have?
The atomic number of uranium is 92. The number of neutrons of the isotope uranium-235 is 143.
7.5 times 10 to the 21 uranium atoms equals how many grams?
7,5.1021 uranium atoms = 2,9644 grams
What is a advantages of uranium rays?
Uranium is not used for the radiations emitted.
If you were Becquerel what are some possible tests that you can do to identify the radiations emitted by the uranium salt?
Becquerel in 1896 hadn't the possibility to identify the radiations emitted from uranium.
What does uranium emits while it breaks down?
Fission fragments, neutrons, gamma radiations; and all the radiations emitted by these fission fragments.
What puzzled Marie Curie about uranium?
- They discovered that radiations are emitted from the uranium atom (and not from the molecule containing uranium) and are dependent on the quantity of uranium. - They discovered polonium and radium in uranium minerals.
What puzzled Marie curie and her husband about uranium?
- They discovered that radiations are emitted from the uranium atom (and not from the molecule containing uranium) and are dependent on the quantity of uranium. - They discovered polonium and radium in uranium minerals.
How does uranium kill people?
1. If it is used in nuclear weapons. 2. If it is ingested, because uranium is toxic. 3. If it is inhaled because alpha radiations from uranium, radium and radon destroy pulmonary alveoli. 4. In the case of an accident of criticality. 5. After a contact with irradiated uranium, because all the radiations emitted by the fission products are dangerous.
Why do the elements such as radium polonium and uranium expose photographic film?
Because radiations emitted by radioactive elements decompose the components of the emulsion (AgBr).
What experiment will you conduct to identify the radation emitted by the uranium salt?
For gamma radiations: gamma radiometry, gamma spectrometry For fluorescence: irradiation with UV light in a dark room
How does the radiation emitted from the sun differ from the radiation emitted by earth?
In fact, radiations are reflected by earth but not emitted.
What do isotopes of uranium differ in?
Differences between uranium isotopes: atomic mass, half life, type of decay, energy and types of emitted radiations, specific activity, number of neutrons, artificial or natural isotope, mode of preparation, etc.
What is the appreciable radioactivity of uranium is mainly due to m?
Uranium natural isotopes emit alpha particles, gamma radiations, beta radiations and spontaneous fission neutrons.
Describe the nature of the emitted particles in Uranium?
Uranium, for example the isotope 235 is an emitter of: gamma, alpha and beta radiations, also spontaneous fission neutrons. But, for each isotope of uranium the radiation energies, and their percentage is different.
