Mercury and plutonium are chemical elements and metals.
These are decomposition reactions.
No, nuclear chain reactions can happen in several types of fissile materials, not just uranium. Other examples include plutonium and thorium. These materials can undergo fission reactions and sustain a self-sustaining chain reaction.
Oxygen as most reactions have it although it could also be hydrogen
The most common plutonium isotope is plutonium 239.
Mercury and plutonium are chemical elements and metals.
Plutonium is not a common metal; it is an artificial chemical element, dangerous, expensive and is obtained only in some countries.
Some plutonium chemical compounds; plutonium dioxide, plutonium nitride, plutonium carbide, plutonium nitrate, plutonium trifluoride, plutonium chloride, etc.
Plutonium as a chemical element don't contain compounds. But plutonium, being reactive, can be combined with many elements: oxygen, hydrogen, halogens, nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, silicon, etc.
The name of the chemical element plutonium is derived from the name of the dwarf planet Pluto; Pluto was the Roman god of the underworld.
Metals rusting, wood or fuel burning, yeast fermenting sugar, and cellular respiration are common chemical reactions.
These are decomposition reactions.
Explain why energy is necessary to chemical reactions, and describe some common sources of energy.
The most common compound of plutonium is plutonium dioxide - PuO2.
Nuclear energy appears as heat in a nuclear reactor. It comes from the fission of uranium or plutonium
No, nuclear chain reactions can happen in several types of fissile materials, not just uranium. Other examples include plutonium and thorium. These materials can undergo fission reactions and sustain a self-sustaining chain reaction.
Plutonium-235 is relatively rare compared to plutonium-239, which is the more common isotope of plutonium. Plutonium-235 makes up less than 1% of naturally occurring plutonium. It is typically produced in nuclear reactors through the neutron capture process.
