What are the radioactive isotopes?
radioactive isotopes are isotopes with irregular nuclear composition, it emits energy due to decay of atomic nucleus.
What makes a isotope different from a regular atom?
Isotopes are atoms (as regular as any!) which differ in number of neutrons in the nucleus. For example, hydrogen isotopes are:protium (nucleus contains 1 p),deuterium (1 p + 1 n), andtritium (1 p + 2 n).
Is N larger in size or F?
In terms of atomic radius yes, nitrogen is larger than fluorine. However, the common fluorine isotopes have a greater mass than those of nitrogen.
What process do you use to make plutonium from uranium?
This is done in fast breeder reactors. Uranium-238 is put into the operating reactor where it is exposed to the neutron flux. When 238U captures a fast neutron (a high energy one - not one that has been slowed down or thermalized), it transforms into 239Pu through the intermediate step of 239U and 239Np. U-238 (non-fissile) + n -> U-239 -> Np-239 -> Pu-239 (fissile)
What is the charge on plutonium atom?
Nuclear fission of some isotopes release a great quantity of energy. Plutonium is a fissile material (isotopes 239Pu and 241Pu); it is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. Also Pu(alpha,n)Be is a source of neutrons and Pu is used as power or heat source.
What are the radioactive isotopes?
radioactive isotopes are isotopes with irregular nuclear composition, it emits energy due to decay of atomic nucleus.
What are three different isotopes in nitrogen?
Nitrogen has two stable isotopes: N-14 and N-15 and 14 radioactive isotopes.
How seaborgium is made?
The first nuclear reaction used to obtain seaborgium was: Pb-208(Cr,n)Sg-260 Now many other nuclear reactions are known to obtain seaborgium isotopes.
What do we call it when neutrons are added to an element?
This is a (n,γ) nuclear reaction (neutron-gamma).
Is plutonium the result of of the alpha decay of uranium?
Yes, plutonium is typically formed as a result of the alpha decay of uranium in nuclear reactors or in nuclear weapons. It can also be produced artificially in nuclear reactors by bombarding uranium-238 with neutrons.
What are the stables isotopes of nitrogen?
The most stable isotopes of nitrogen are 14N and 15N.
What makes a isotope different from a regular atom?
Isotopes are atoms (as regular as any!) which differ in number of neutrons in the nucleus. For example, hydrogen isotopes are:protium (nucleus contains 1 p),deuterium (1 p + 1 n), andtritium (1 p + 2 n).
How is Einsteinium created?
- Einsteinium appear in debris from nuclear tests.- Einsteinium-253 is obtained from U-238 or Pu-238 after long and intense irradiation with neutrons.- Cf-252(n,gamma)Cf-253---------Es-253 + beta- Other nuclear reactions are possible for other isotopes.
What are sources of einsteinium?
- Einsteinium appear in debris from nuclear tests.- Einsteinium-253 is obtained from U-238 or Pu-238 after long and intense irradiation with neutrons.- Cf-252(n,gamma)Cf-253---------Es-253 + beta- Other nuclear reactions are possible for other isotopes.
How do people get einsteinium?

How is einsteinium obtained?
