Does uranium have positive or negative ions?

Uranium can form both positive and negative ions, depending on the specific chemical conditions. In its most common form, uranium typically forms positive ions by losing electrons to achieve a stable configuration.

Uranium ia a pollutant, as a metal toxic and radioactive; no positive environmenal role.


What are the positive enriched uranium?

- the energy released from enriched uranium is higher compared to natural uranium- the amount of uranium needed for a reactor is lower- research reactors work only with enriched uranium- atomic bombs have highly enriched uranium or plutonium


What are the positive and negative effects of uranium?

Disadvantages of uranium: 1. Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment. 2. Uranium is a toxic and a radioactive chemical element. 3. Uranium release radium and radon. 4. Radioactive wastes are dangerous and need to be isolated. Any good effect for the environment.


Why must the bullet that splits a uranium atom be neutral?

The bullet that splits a uranium atom is a neutron. Other possible bullets are protons and alpha particles. But these particles are positively charged and so will be repelled by the nucleus of the uranium atom since it contains protons in plenty. Like charges repel. So the uranium nucleus with the positive charge will repel other positive charges. Neutron is a neutral particle and so is not repelled. So a neutron is used as a bullet to split uranium atom.
