Pu-239 has a half-life of 24,110 years.
What else can I help you with?
Give the equation neutron interact with uranium?
92U-238 + 0n ------92U-239----- β ----- 93Np-239------ β --------94Pu-239
When uranium 238 is bombarded with a neutron it can change into what?
The nuclear reaction is: 23892U + n-------23992U-------23993Np + e--------23994Pu + e
Which is the next stable element after uranium?
none, uranium itself is unstable, there are no stable elements after bismuth; and even some researchers suggest that bismuth is an unstable radioactive element with a halflife approaching twice the age of the universe.
What 2 radioactive elements were chosen for the atomic bomb?
Uranium-235 and plutonium-239 were the two radioactive elements chosen for the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
What three isotopes that can undergo nuclear fission?
Three isotopes that can undergo nuclear fission are uranium-235, plutonium-239, and uranium-233. When these isotopes absorb a neutron, they become unstable and split into smaller fragments, releasing energy in the process.
What is the halflife of Uranium-239?
The half-life of uranium-239 is 23.45 minutes.
What else other than uranium 239 is the atomic bomb made of?
Not uranium 239, but uranium 235 and plutonium 239.
What is the nuclear equation for the alpha decay of uranium 239?
Uranium-239 does NOT decay by alpha decay, it decays only by beta and gammadecay.
When an extra neutron was added to Uranium-238 what is the name of the resulting Uranium-238 isotope?
The resulting isotope is uranium 239 with a half life of 23.5 minutes (beta desintegration).
Is uranium a rare metal?
no. but uranium-239 is the most useful and it is very rare.
What is the mass number for uranium-239?
The relative atomic mass of the isotope 239U is 239,054 293 299 ± 0,000 002 052 (atomic mass units).
Similarties between uranium-235 and plutonium-239 in nuclear reactors?
Uranium 235 and Plutonium 239 are fissile elements, fissionable with thermal neutrons.
To what does plutonium-239 decay when it loses an alpha particle?
Yes, plutonium-239 emits alpha particles by decay.
What new element is then created by a single beta decay of this isotope 239U?
In a single beta decay of uranium-239 (239U), the new element created is neptunium-239 (239Np). During the beta decay process, a neutron in the uranium nucleus is transformed into a proton, resulting in the creation of neptunium-239.
Which uranium isotope is the first step in the chain of events making plutonium-239?
Uranium 235
Give the equation neutron interact with uranium?
92U-238 + 0n ------92U-239----- β ----- 93Np-239------ β --------94Pu-239
What are the Connections between plutonium and uranium?
Plutonim is obtained from uranium by nuclear reactions: U 238 + 1 neutron → U 239 → Np 239→ Pu 239
