Plutonium is obtained in United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, India, Pakistan, Japan, China.
Some plutonium chemical compounds; plutonium dioxide, plutonium nitride, plutonium carbide, plutonium nitrate, plutonium trifluoride, plutonium chloride, etc.
1. Plutonium is a reactive metal: the electronegativity of plutonium on Pauling scale is 1,28. 2. Plutonium has valences from 3 to 7.
Plutonium is an artificial chemical element; plutonium has not minerals, ores, deposits.
Plutonium is an artificial, solid metal.
2,2 moles of plutonium: 13,248711938.1023 atoms.
Plutonium is only a trade affair between countries, under the control of IAEA.
Countries able to obtain now plutonium: USA, Russia, China, United Kingdom, France, Japan, India; probable Pakistan and Germany.
Because plutonium is very toxic, radioactive, flammable and explosive.
Plutonium is not a common metal; it is an artificial chemical element, dangerous, expensive and is obtained only in some countries.
Plutonium is not a common metal; it is an artificial chemical element, dangerous, expensive and is obtained only in some countries.
Countries with plutonium facilities: USA, United Kingdom, France, Russia, India, Japan, China, Pakistan.
The artificial plutonium was prepared for the first time in December 1940.The natural isotope Pu-244 is primordial, as old as the Earth but exist only in traces.
Radium: Plutonium does not occur naturally, and magnesium has a low density for a metal.
Plutonium, Iron
Probable USA has the most plutonium.
Uranium is the main fuel used, but in some countries a mixture of uranium and plutonium is also used (MOX fuel)
Only a trace of plutonium is naturally found in the earth's crust. And it is always found with uranium because it is made by uranium's spontaneous fission, neutron release, and the subsequent neutron capture by another uranium nucleus to form the plutonium atom. Plutonium is not formed by the death of a star in a super nova like uranium is. Uranium is the heaviest element formed in that event. That's why there isn't any plutonium around as an ore. Just the trace amounts found with uranium. We're lucky there isn't a lot of plutonium around. It is highly toxic owing to its hightly radioactive nature.
