What is the number of protons and neutrrons in a nucleus of uranium?
Uranium's atomic number is 92. Thus, all isotopes of uranium have 92 protons. The most common isotope of uranium is 238U, which has 238 - 92 = 146 neutrons.
What isotope uranium is radioactive?
Yes.......most likely. I can't think of anything to do with Uranium, that isn't radioactive! -------- Uranium natural isotopes are not so radioactive compared with other isotopes; but all the isotopes of uranium are radioactive.
What is the chemical composition of Uranium?
Uranium's chemical symbol is U and its atomic number is 92, meaning it has 92 protons in its nucleus. It is a heavy metal that is naturally radioactive. Its most common isotopes are uranium-238 and uranium-235.
Why does plutonium have a less mass than uranium?
The atomic mass of the most common isotope of plutonium (Pu-234) is higher than the masses of the uranium natural isotopes.
Uranium -235 and uranium -238 are different of uranium?
Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are isotopes of uranium, meaning they have the same number of protons but 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 more abundant in nature but less useful for these purposes.
How big is an isotope of uranium?
There are 3 major isotopes of uranium: Uranium-238, 235, and 234. These numbers are the amount of neutrons in the nucleus. Since Uranium only has 92 protons, this makes these isotopes VERY neutron-heavy!Uranium-238 is the most common in nature, followed by 235, then 234. All these are radioactive isotopes. Because there are so many neutrons in Uranium, it makes it fissile -- easy to split.

Why does plutonium have a less mass than uranium?
The atomic mass of the most common isotope of plutonium (Pu-234) is higher than the masses of the uranium natural isotopes.
Is uranium and plutonium the most common istopoes for nuclear power?
The most important isotopes for nuclear reactors are: - fissile isotopes: U-233, U-235, Pu-239, Pu-241 - fertile isotopes: Th-232, U-238
How many isotopes uranium has?
Uranium has 3 natural isotopes (234, 235, 238) and 26 artificial isotopes.All the isotopes of uranium are radioactive.
What is used for nuclear feuls?
Nuclear fuels used in nuclear reactors are typically uranium or plutonium isotopes. These isotopes undergo nuclear fission, releasing energy in the form of heat that is used to generate electricity. The most common nuclear fuel is uranium-235, which is enriched to increase its concentration of fissile isotopes.
Two atoms of uranium that differ in their number of neutrons are called?
Uranium isotopes
Uranium -235 and uranium -238 are different of uranium?

Uranium-235 is used in nuclear reactors and weapons due to its ability to sustain a nuclear chain reaction, while uranium-238 is more abundant in nature but less useful for these purposes.
What do all sodium isotopes have in common and how do they difference?
They have the same number of protons and electrons.
What are the two most common isotopes used as nuclear fuels?
in reactors: yellowcake, a uranium oxide; after that probably metallic uraniumin stars: ordinary hydrogen; after that helium
