Uranium is a dense, silvery-white metallic element with the symbol U and atomic number 92. It is primarily known for its use as fuel in nuclear reactors and in the production of nuclear weapons due to its ability to undergo fission. Naturally occurring uranium consists mainly of two isotopes, uranium-238 and uranium-235, with the latter being the key isotope used in nuclear reactions. Additionally, uranium is found in trace amounts in various minerals and is mined from the earth for various applications.

What can uranium react with?
Uranium can react with the majority of non-metals (excepting noble gases); uraniun can form alloys with all metals.

What is uranium salt example of uraniun salt?
Some uranium salts: uranyl nitrate, uranyl acetate, uranyl sulphate, uranium tetrachloride, uranium hexafluoride, uranium iodide, uranium tetrafluoride, uranyl phosphate, uranyl carbonate, and many others.
What are the differences between thourium uraniun and plutunim?
Uranium (pronounced is a silvery-white metallic chemical element in the actinide series of the periodic table. Thorium is a naturally occurring, slightly radioactive metal, which has been successfully used as an alternative nuclear fuel to uranium.
Why was fat boy dropped on nagasaki and little man on hiroshima?
Because of their shapes. Fat Man used plutonium. A sphere of plutonium was surrounded by conventional explosives which were designed to send the force of their explosion inward to crush the sphere into a smaller shape (thus higher density) in order to trigger the nuclear reaction. Thus the bomb had a very rounded shape to it, suggestive of a fat man. In contrast the other bomb, which used uranium, had the nuclear reaction triggered by firing a small slug of uraniun down a track into a larger mass of the same element. Thus that bomb looked long and slender by comparison and so picked up the moniker Little Boy in contrast. Michael Montagne
