Uranium is more dense than lead, yes. The density of the two metals is 19.1 and 11.34 grams per cubic centimeter, respectively. That makes uranium almost twice as dense as lead.

Which is more dense lead or water?

Lead is more dense than water. The density of lead is about 11.34 grams per cubic centimeter, while the density of water is about 1 gram per cubic centimeter.


Is a sponge ball more dense than a lead ball?

No, a lead ball is more dense than a sponge ball because lead has a higher density compared to the sponge material. Density is the measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so the lead ball would have more mass packed into the same volume as the sponge ball.


Why a pillow is more or less dense then a lead sinker?

A pillow is less dense than a lead sinker. Density is defined by mass per unit volume. So, if you have the same mass (weight) of a pillow, and a lead sinker, which will take up more space (volume)? The answer is the pillow. Thus, it is LESS dense.


Is steel lighter than lead?

Yes, steel is lighter than lead. Steel is a metal alloy made primarily of iron and carbon, whereas lead is a dense metal. This difference in composition leads to steel being less dense and therefore lighter than lead.


Why isnt a solid bar of Uranium the densest metal?

Density is a compound's mass divided by its volume. Uranium has alot of neutrons, electrons, ect... but that doesn't mean that it is more dense. Lets say that you have a fat person and a scrany person, if you can under stand that more dense objects are more likely to sink, then consider this. You have probably seen a fat lady in a swimming pool float casually while the skinny dude has to stroke the water in order to stay afloat or else he would sink. This is an example that fat is less dense than bone or mussel Just because there is more of it, doesn't mean that it has more extreme traits

Why do you use uranium on the environment?

Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment, it is not used for the environment. Various forms of uranium are used to fuel nuclear power plants, and a form with very low radioactivity (spent uranium) is used in heavy projectile weapons because it is more dense than lead.

What is denser a ton of lead or a ton of feathers?

Lead is more dense than feathers. It doesn't matter how much you have of either one. A chip of lead is more dense than a 10-mile convoy of trucks loaded with feathers.


What is more radioactive than pure uranium?

Many radioactive isotopes are more radioactive than the naturally occurring uranium isotopes:All fission product isotopes are more radioactive (e.g. iodine-131, strontium-90)Most radioactive isotopes in the uranium --> lead decay chain are more radioactive (e.g. radium, radon, polonium)Plutonium is more radioactiveTritium is more radioactiveCarbon-14 is more radioactiveArtificially produced uranium isotopes are more radioactive (e.g. uranium-233, uranium-236)etc.

What is the metal for fishing weights?

Fishing weights are made of a lead alloy due to its density, malleability, and low cost.Gold and uranium would be better for density, but gold is too expensive and uranium is somewhat hard and brittle (but depleted uranium is somewhat inexpensive although still more expensive than lead).


What is differentiation enriched uranium?
