Uranium is a heavy element with the atomic number 92 and the symbol U. In 1789 it was discovered in the mineral pitchblende by Martin Heinrich Klaproth , who named it after the planet Uranus
586 Questions
Yes, uranium is a metal. It is a heavy, silvery-white, radioactive metal that is part of the actinide series. Uranium is used in nuclear reactors for power generation and in nuclear weapons.
Which country produces most wines?
Italy is the number one producer of wine in the world, second is France, Spain is third, then the U.S and fifth is Argentina.
What is Uranium's Natural State?
Uranium is usually found in nature in the form of uranium ore, which is a combination of uranium, oxygen, and other elements. It can take the form of minerals such as uraninite, coffinite, and carnotite.
Green salt is made of a combination of salt, herbs (such as basil, parsley, tarragon, and chervil), and sometimes other ingredients like garlic or lemon zest. The color comes from the addition of these green herbs to the salt mixture.
What is the origin of the name Uranus?
William Herschel was going to name the planet Georgium Sidu (George's Star). But Johann Elert Bode decided to name it Uranus the Latinized version of the greek god of the sky Ouranus. He argued for it to be named after the father of Saturn. Finally it was switched from Georgium Sidus to Uranus.
Uranus comes from the name of the mythological Greek god of the sky.
Plutonium is produced in operating nuclear reactors. Uranium is exposed to the neutron flux within the reactor and this is how we generally synthesize this heavy metal.
The fact that plutonium can be used for nuclear weapons places limits on those who wish to acquire plutonium. In addition to its use as material for weapons, it is radioactive and toxic. Plutonium is purchased from a few national suppliers, and there are extremely strict limits on who can buy it and how much a buyer can get.
What is the power produced by splitting uranium atoms to release their energy called?
The power produced by splitting uranium atoms to release energy is called nuclear power. This process is known as nuclear fission, where the nucleus of a uranium atom is split into smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat.
Uranium is formed through the process of supernovae, where heavy elements are created by nuclear reactions in the hot, dense cores of dying stars. These heavy elements are then scattered into space when the star explodes, eventually forming into uranium-rich mineral deposits on Earth through geological processes.
How is RDX used as a medicine?
The discovery of RDX dates from 1898 when Georg Friedrich Henning obtained a German patent (patent No. 104280) for its manufacture, by nitrating hexamethylenetetramine.[2] In this patent, its properties as an explosive were at length described, as well as its possible use as a medical compound mentioned. Research and development were not published further until G. C. V. Herz obtained a British patent in 1921 and a U.S. patent in 1922, for its manufacture by nitrating hexamethylenetetramine.[2] Later in the 1920s RDX was produced by the direct nitration of hexamine. RDX was used by both sides in World War II.
That is a challenging question. Energy in the martial arts is often referred to as chi, referring to the internal energies that are believed to be inherit in all human beings.
Combining this energy with physical strength creates power. For the young, the power of the muscles is enough to succeed in many situations. With learning and experience, energy can assist in the creation of power, allowing older and lighter individuals to easily over power others.
An alternative answer
No.
Power is simply a rate, the rate at which one form of energy is converted into another, or the rate of heat transfer. As energy is measured in joules, power is measured in joules per second which, in SI, is given a special name, the watt.
Energy, on the other hand, occurs in many forms, including electrical. All forms of energy, including electrical, is measured in joules.
It is energy, not power. that you pay for, when your electricity utility charges you for 'using electricity'. As the joule is a very small unit, utilities traditionally use a special unit called a kilowatt hour (kW.h) to measure that energy although there is no reason why they shouldn't use a kilojoule or megajoule instead.

Does talcum powder cause cancer?
There is conflicting evidence regarding the link between talcum powder and cancer. Some studies suggest a possible association between talcum powder use in the genital area and an increased risk of ovarian cancer, while others have not found a clear connection. It is advised to minimize the use of talcum powder in sensitive areas until more conclusive evidence is available.
How is chymotrypsin used in medicine?
It is not a painkiller.
It is a kind of enzyme that is produced in the pancreas and and aids in our digestion.
As a medicine it has a various applications:
1) A digestive aid
2) An anti-inflammatory
3) To break down mucous (this is my personal experience; my son got bronchitis in China and they had him inhale it to break down his clogged lungs)
I have read that there are a number of other uses, but from what I understand these are the primary ones.
Why can ordinary uranium not be used to fuel a reactor cooled by ordinary water?
Because "ordinary" uranium is mostly 238U, which won't fission and create a chain like its lighter cousin 235U will. When critical mass is achieved with the 235U isotope of uranium, fission will occur spontaneously. Or with a significantly enriched uranium fuel (one where the natural concentration of 235U has been increased a bunch so the fuel has a much higher percentage of this isotope), fission and a chain reaction is also possible. But with just natural uranium, a big pile of it will just sit there. It won't fission and create a chain reaction. Note that 238U is radioactive and decays over time because it is unstable, but it has a long half-life. Also, the fact that it's unstable (radioactive) doesn't mean it's fissile. It isn't.
What is happening with the price of uranium?
The price of uranium has been relatively stable in recent years due to oversupply in the market and decreased demand for nuclear power. However, there is potential for an increase in price in the future as more countries focus on carbon-free energy sources, which could drive up demand for uranium.
Are uranium isotopes chemically different?
No. All Uranium isotopes are called Uranium because they have 92 protons. The different isotopes (233, 235, 238, etc) all have 92 protons but have different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. The chemical characteristics of an atom are determined by the number of protons in the nucleus which controls the number of electrons it takes to balance the atom and thus the chemical valence of the atom.
When you get down to it, that is the reason why enrichment of Uranium is such a difficult task since there is only a three neutron difference in weight between fissionable U235 and non-fissionable U238 and no difference in chemical properties.
Uranium-235 is fissionable with thermal neotrons, it is a fissile material.
Uranium-238 is fissionable with rapid neutrons, it is a fertile material.
Fission of some uranium, plutonium, neptunium isotopes release a formidable energy which can be used to obtain electrical/thermal energy.
Yes, gasoline is volatile because it can easily evaporate into the air at normal temperatures. This volatility is what makes gasoline highly flammable and able to ignite easily.
How does the rotating function work?
This question is similar to "How does linear motion function? With the exception of the planetary system, first it must be driven by power. When driven and no load applied to it, then its just an object in motion. In other words a motion without load or work whether it be rotation or linear motion does not serve a function.
Do you know if a certain form exists or an example of a Motion to Reopen a chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
The errors in the first answer are mostly clarified in the second, but consult an attorney familiar with the topic.
They answers also do not answer the question ;) and that was where to find a form - and the very simple method of obtaining the document from Pacer will always work for such a need.
After a web search gives you a case number and a reference to a Motion to Reopen Bankruptcy Case, log into Pacer (http://www.pacer.uscourts.gov) or the Electronic Case Filing server for the court referred to, search for the case and court, obtain the docket report, find the Motion to Reopen, and download that document and edit it.
AnswerIRS obligations do not get discharged as the result of bankruptcy. All other creditors have to write off their debts, but the IRS gets to threaten you for the rest of your life, and even go after your estate.
AnswerBankruptcy is a Federal Case, and the form would be the one used by the circuit in your area. Speaking to the Court Clerk should get you what they want to see.
Re-opening a closed case is not for the faint of heart or wallet. And, if it even can be done, some real cause for it better be able to be shown...the fact that you just promised the court (and everybody else) something, many times over, made agreements etc. (probably that even had references to taxes, etc) but apparently didn't think about taxes, simply may not fly.
Then, as above notes, do you really want to do so? Probably depends on the Chapter you filed and if/when you filed returns, when the IRS gave their notices and if there is a lien already: Most tax debts can't be wiped out in bankruptcy -- you'll continue to owe them at the end of a Chapter 7 case, or you'll have to repay them in full in your Chapter 13 plan.
If you need to discharge tax debts, Chapter 7 will probably be the better option -- but only if you qualify for Chapter 7 and your debts qualify for discharge.
You can discharge (wipe out) debts for federal income taxes in Chapter 7 bankruptcy only if all of the following conditions are true:
* The taxes are income taxes. Taxes other than income, such as payroll taxes or fraud penalties, can never be eliminated in bankruptcy. * You did not commit fraud or willful evasion. If you filed a fraudulent tax return or otherwise willfully attempted to evade paying taxes, such as using a false Social Security number on your tax return, bankruptcy can't help. * The debt is at least three years old. To eliminate a tax debt, the tax return must have been originally due at least three years before you filed for bankruptcy. * You filed a tax return. You must have filed a tax return for the debt you wish to discharge at least two years before filing for bankruptcy. * You pass the "240-day rule." The income tax debt must have been assessed by the IRS at least 240 days before you file your bankruptcy petition, or must not have been assessed yet. (This time limit may be extended if the IRS suspended collection activity because of an offer in compromise or a previous bankruptcy filing.)
The Effect of Federal Tax Liens
If your taxes qualify for discharge in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, your victory may be bittersweet. This is because prior recorded tax liens are not affected by your filing. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy will wipe out your personal obligation to pay the debt, and prevent the IRS from going after your bank account or wages, but any lien recorded before you file for bankruptcy remains. In effect, this means you'll have to pay off the lien in order to sell the property.
Yes, "Uranium" should be capitalized as it is a proper noun and the name of a chemical element.
What are some poems for uranium?
I am not able to provide direct quotes or full poems due to copyright restrictions. However, poems that may mention or reference uranium include "Uranium Poem" by Connie Voisine, "The Uranium Poem" by Leonard Cohen, and "Uranium" by Brian Turner. These poems explore themes related to power, destruction, and the impact of uranium on humans and the environment.
Uranium is primarily purchased by nuclear power plants, government entities, and commercial companies involved in uranium mining, enrichment, and fuel fabrication. These buyers include utility companies, the U.S. Department of Energy, and private companies engaged in the nuclear industry. Additionally, the United States imports uranium from countries such as Canada, Australia, and Kazakhstan.

Where can you find uranium in Saskatchewan?
High-grade uranium mined and processed there is shipped out of Saskatchewan to power nuclear reactors in other provinces and countries. Mines in some areas were closed in the 1980's but exploitation of large ore bodies later began at the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan.
