Neptunium is an artificial chemical element. Neptunium can be found in the nature only in ultratraces resulting from nuclear weapons experiments, radioactive wastes from nuclear reactors or from other experiments. Neptunium is found also in extremely low concentrations in uranium ores.
What else can I help you with?
Why is it useful to create neptunium by bombardind uranium with protons even though neptunium disintegrates in about two days?
The bombardment of uranium is with neutrons not protons.Neptunium has many isotopes; for example 237Np has a half life of 2,14.106 years.237Np will be used by United States as nuclear weapon.Other possible applications: precursor for the preparation of plutonium isotopes Pu-236 and Pu-238, isotopic tracer, in neutrons detectors.
What three element symbols were named for planets?
None. Although Mercury, Uranium and Plutonium might seem to be named after planets they were not. They were named after ancient deities.
What is one of the daughter elements of urainium-238?
U238 is a stable isotope of uranium - it doesn't undergo decay except at a very very slow rate unless hit with Neutrons - then it will decay to Neptunium

Where is coquina found?
where is coquina rock found
Can neptunium be found in food?
Neptunium is not in foods.
How much neptunium is found on Earth?
Neptunium is an artificial element.Amounts of natural neptunium are absolutely nonsignificant.
What state of matter is neptunium found?
Neptunium is a solid metal.
What is neptunium the element found in?
Neptunium is an artificial chemical element but neptunium can be found also in the nature as a result of decay processes in uranium ores, only in ultratraces.
What elements before neptunium are not found in nature?
All the elements before neptunium are found in the nature. Also neptunium can be found in the nature only in ultratraces resulting from nuclear weapons experiments or other experiments.
Does neptunium have a smell?
Neptunium is a radioactive metallic element, and as such, it does not have a distinct smell. It is not typically found in nature but is produced in laboratories for research purposes.
Is neptunium man?
Assuming you mean man[made], no. Trace amounts of neptunium are found in uranium ores in Nature.
What country found neptunium?
Neptunium was prepared for the first time by Edwin Mac Millan and Philipp Abelson in USA in 1940.
Where is neptunium found in nature?
Neptunium exist in nature in: - uranium ores, in extremely traces concentrations - in areas of past nuclear weapons tests
When was the element neptunium found?
Edwin McMillan and Philip Abelson obtained for the first time neptunium in 1940 at Berkeley Radiation Laboratories, USA.
Could the human body use neptunium?
No, neptunium is a radioactive element that is not naturally found in the human body and is not known to have any biological functions. Ingesting or being exposed to neptunium can be harmful to human health due to its radioactive nature.
Is Neptunium found in nature or manmade?
Neptunium is an artificial chemical element. It is found in burned nuclear fuels and in very low concentration in soils as a product of nuclear weapons tests.But natural neptunium exist in infinitesimal amounts in uranium ores.
