It is unclear what you are asking. "Reliable" in what way?
The halflife of each uranium isotope is absolutely reliable and because of that is used for radiometric dating.
Uranium-235 fissions very reliably when struck by neutrons making the neutron chain reaction happen and powering both nuclear power plants and some nuclear explosives.
Uranium-238 makes excellent armor penetrating bullets that not only reliably penetrate thick armor but once inside absolutely reliably spontaneously burst into flame, spraying the occupants of the vehicle with burning pieces of molten metal. Thus delivering a kill of both vehicle and crew with nearly unbelievable reliability.
However although uranium makes a beautiful orange pottery glaze such pottery should never be used for food or water as the uranium can leach and when ingested sometimes causes cancer decades later.
Uranium has many other properties.
What else can I help you with?
What are advantages of using uranium energy source?
1. Uranium is an alternative to fossil fuels, especially for countries without reserves of coal, petrol, methane. 2. Uranium don't contribute to global warming. 3. Uranium don't release carbon dioxide.
How many electrons and protons does uranium contain?
92 protonsAll the isotopes of uranium has 92 protons.
Who in lead with uranium?
Isotopes of lead are the final products of the decay chain of uranium.
Is raw uranium radioactive?
Yes, raw uranium is radioactive.
What is the possibility of uranium as future source of energy?
There is potential for uranium to be a future source of energy as it is a reliable and abundant fuel for nuclear power generation. However, there are challenges such as cost, safety concerns, and public perception that may impact its widespread adoption. Research into new technologies like advanced reactors and fuel cycles could improve the prospects for uranium as an energy source.
Is uranium reliable on a day to day basis?
Uranium is a non-renewable source of energy.
In radiometric dating for what kinds of geologic samples containing uranium is uranium most useful?
Uranium is most useful for radiometric dating in igneous rocks, such as granite or basalt, and in metamorphic rocks that have undergone high temperature events. These types of rocks are typically rich in uranium and provide reliable age information for geologists. Sedimentary rocks are generally less suitable for uranium dating due to the potential for uranium to be remobilized.
What are advantages of using uranium energy source?
1. Uranium is an alternative to fossil fuels, especially for countries without reserves of coal, petrol, methane. 2. Uranium don't contribute to global warming. 3. Uranium don't release carbon dioxide.
What are common compounds in which uranium is found?
uranyl nitrate, uranium chloride, uranium tetrafluoride, uranium hexafluoride, uranium dioxide, uranium octaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranyl sulfate, uranyl oxalate, uranium carbide, uranium nitride, uranium sulfide, uranium sulfate, uranium selenide, etc.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using uranium as a fuel?
Advantages of uranium as a fuel include high energy density, which means it can produce a large amount of energy from a small amount of material. It is also a reliable and proven technology for generating electricity. However, disadvantages include the risk of nuclear accidents, the generation of radioactive waste, and the potential for nuclear proliferation.
What are 2 molecules that contain uranium?
Examples:Oxides: uranium dioxide, uranium trioxide, uranium octaoxideSalts: ammonium diuranate, uranyl nitrate, uranyl acetate, uranium hehxafluoride, uranium chlorideand many others because uranium is a reactive metal.
What are common combinatons with uranium with other elements?
uranyl nitrate, uranium dioxide, uranium octaoxide, uranium hexafluoride, uranyl acetate, uranium tetrachloride, uranium carbide, uranium nitride, uranium tetraiodide, uranium sulfide, ammonium diuranate, etc.
What are uraniums common compounds?
uranyl nitrate, uranium chloride, uranium tetrafluoride, uranium hexafluoride, uranium dioxide, uranium octaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranyl sulfate, uranyl oxalate, uranium carbide, uranium nitride, uranium sulfide, uranium sulfate, uranium selenide, etc.
Is uranium in a compound?
Some examples of uranium compounds are: uranyl nitrate, uranium dioxide, uranium hexafluoride, uranium tetrachloride, triuraniumoctaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranium iodide, uranium nitride, uranium, sulfide, uranium carbide, uranyl sulfate, etc.
What are the masses of uranium and in uranium oxide?
The percentage of uranium in uranium dioxide is 88,149.
Are there different types of uranium?
Uranium is a chemical element with three natural isotopes (234, 235, 238). The natural uranium has cca. 0,72 % uranium-235; uranium with a concentration of uranium-235 under 0,72 % is called depleted uranium; uranium with a concentration of uranium -235 above 0,72 % is called enriched uranium. Uranium in nuclear power and research reactors is used as metal, aloys, uranium dioxide, uranium carbides, uranium silicides, etc.
What is cold uranium?
Cold uranium is unirradiated uranium.
