Chemical properties: All of its isotopes are radioactive. It has a wide range of oxidation states. It is flammable and pyrophoric when finely divided.

Physical properties: It is silvery black in color. It is the only element having naturally occurring isotopes than can support a nuclear fission chain reaction.

What are the differences between uranium-235 and uranium-238 in terms of their nuclear properties and applications?

Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are two isotopes of uranium with different numbers of neutrons. Uranium-235 is used in nuclear reactors and weapons due to its ability to sustain a nuclear chain reaction, while uranium-238 is mainly used in depleted uranium ammunition and as a source of fuel for nuclear reactors. The main difference between the two isotopes is their nuclear properties and applications.
