Is uranium more dense than lead?
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.
What does uranium decompose to after billions of years?
u are stupid
What Metal used in nuclear reactions?
Nuclear energy appears as heat in a nuclear reactor. It comes from the fission of uranium or plutonium
What does uranium become when it decays?
If we use uranium-238 as our starter isotope, what happens is that a nuclear decay event happens (in this case an alpha decay) and the U-238 transforms into a daughter isotope thorium (Th-234). The half-life of this transition is 4.5 billion years. Thorium-234 then undergoes a decay. And the process continues until a stable isotope is created as the last daughter of a decay chain. Note that there will be different half lives for the transition events, and the modes of decay will vary depending on what daughter is now the parent in the next decay event. Use the link below to see all the steps. The chart will show the whole chain including the half-life of isotope undergoing decay, the decay mode, and the daughter. Follow along using the keys and the process will reveal itself.
Are large amounts of energy created with small amounts of uranium?
Yes. Very large amount of energy is derived from uranium. The atom of uranium brake down to give you atom of lead. There is loss of some mass in the process. That mass is converted into energy as per Einstein's equation. That is E = m C square. It is tremendous energy.
How much lead is in 1 kilogram of pure molten uranium?
Since you have stated that the uranium is pure, it is therefore all uranium and contains no lead; lead is not uranium.
Why is lead found in all deposits of uranium ores?
Uranium has a half life of 5,600 years. After that period, one half of the uranium becomes lead. That is why lead is found in uranium deposits.
What does uranium become when its lost its radioactivity?
Uranium becomes lead
Is lead heavier than uranium?
Yes, uranium is more dense (heavier) than lead.
What is uranium-lead method?
the uranium-lead method is a method to determanie the age of Earth's oldest rocks
Can lead be returned to uranium?
no
Will uranium eventually become iron?
Uranium eventually breaks down into lead.
Why is lead always present in uranium bearing rocks?
Because the end products of uranium decays series are stable isotopes of lead.
What radioactive element turns to lead when it has lost lots of energy?
It is uranium that is changed into lead during radioactive decay. Note that there are a number of intermediate steps in the conversion of uranium into stable lead. The uranium does not change directly into lead. The uranium atom undergoes decay, and a radioactive daughter product appears. This continues with radioactive daughters appearing at the end of every step - until lead appears.
The uranium decay chain ends when the final disintergration product is the stable element?
The uranium decay chain ends with lead stable isotopes.
Which atom is the heaviest helium uranium lead iron Hydrogen?
Uranium atom is the heaviest.
Uranium 238 story?
Due to the beta and alpha emission the uranium 238 became lead (Pb). "its for you to find out how it became lead,..." hehehe
