How is uranium made in to energy we can use?

Uranium-235 react with thermal neutrons in a nuclear reaction called fission. The enormous energy released by the nuclear fission can be transformed in electricity and heat in nuclear reactors.


How is uranium transfered into energy?

the uranium isotope 335 is the "uranium" you are thinking of. uranium 335 is bombarded with one neutron. this turns it into uranium 336 which is extremely unstable. the isotope splits into krypton and barium, and three neutrons. but two neutrons are converted into energy.


Why mass of uranium destroys when it breaks into platinum and then into thorium?

- After alpha disintegration the isotope uranium-238 is transformed in the isotope thorium-234. - After alpha disintegration the isotope uranium-235 is transformed in the isotope thorium-230. Platinum is a misspelling ?


How is electricity created from uranium?

When uranium is brought together in sufficient quantities, the radiation it naturally gives off produces a chain reaction (in which the nuclear particles produces by the breakdown of uranium nuclei interact with other nuclei and cause them to break down as well). This reaction produces a tremendous amount of heat as a by-product. This heat is used to heat a quantity of water, and the resulting steam drives turbines which produce electricity.


Can uranium be used instead of electricity?

Uranium is used in nuclear power reactors to produce electricity or thermal energy.
