The burning and exploding of uranium are entirely different processes.
- uranium burns by ordinary chemical oxidation, in fact uranium reacts with oxygen so easily that it is called a pyrophoric material: shavings or dust will suddenly spontaneously combust with no warning whatsoever
- uranium in a nuclear bomb explodes by an exponentially increasing fission chain reaction in a supercritical mass
What else can I help you with?
What kind of compounds do elements make when the combine?
The entire range of chemical compounds available in the universe
Is there more compound than elements?
No, there are more elements than compounds. Elements are the building blocks of compounds, which are formed when elements combine in specific ratios. The vast majority of matter in the universe is made up of elements.
What sound does uranium make when you hit it?
I'm guessing it would make a " squish" sound because it's a soft metal and can be cut by a knife. Or it would make a slight " bing". Lastly, it might explode 'cuz it's radioactive. ------------------------------------------------- Excuse me, but I worked more than 39 years with uranium: - the sound is metallic - uranium is not a soft metal and it is impossible to cut uranium with a knife; it is difficult to cut an uranium piece also with a laser !
How many elements are used to make up million of compounds?
A relatively small number of elements, around 90 out of the over 100 naturally occurring elements on the periodic table, are used to make up millions of compounds. This is due to the unique chemical properties of these elements, which allow for a wide variety of combinations and bonds to form between them, resulting in the vast number of compounds that exist.
Do compounds have the properties of the elements of which they are formed?
Compounds have different properties than the elements from which they are formed. This is because compounds are made up of chemically bonded elements that interact in unique ways, resulting in distinct characteristics such as new melting points, boiling points, or reactivity.
What is the 2 or more elements that make uranium?
Uranium is a chemical element and doesn't contain other elements,As all chemical elements uranium is formed from protons, neutrons and electrons.
What compounds make up the element cadmium?
No compounds make up elements. Elements make up compounds, so there are no compounds in cadmium since it is an element.
Elements are combined to make compounds?
Yes, chemical compounds are made up of elements combined together.
Are all elements smaller than compounds?
yes because all elements make up compounds
Compare and contrast elements and compounds?
a compound is made up of 2 or more types of atoms . atoms are smaller. u know what im sayin. listen, chemistry ain't a bowl of lemons . u gata wrk for it brotha
What elements were used to make plutonium?
The isotope uranium-238 is the source of plutonium.
Does uranium bond with a covalent bond?
Uranium mainly makes ionic bonds with the ion U6+. However, Uranium along with other transition metal atoms were discovered to make quadruple covalent bonds. In addition, uranium-uranium bonds have been found to contain 3 normal electron-pair bonds, in addition to 4 single electron bonds. This is the most complex bond yet discovered by man, and is currently known to be unique to uranium-uranium bonds.
What is the element uranium used for in medicine?
reactors to make medical isotopes of other elements
What kind of compounds do elements make when the combine?
The entire range of chemical compounds available in the universe
What other elements or compounds bond with oxygen to make other elements?
Almost every other element except the elements in group 18 bond with oxygen to form compounds.
Are the properties of compounds the same as the properties of the elements that make them?
No, never.
Do compounds have very similar properties from those of the elements that make it?
no
