Uranium

No, Uranium has far more electrons.

In a neutral atom number of electrons=number of protons=atomic number.

Hydrogen has 1 electron. Uranium has 92.

A nuclear reactor is a plant which deliver electricity and (or) heat.
The function principle is the release of energy from nuclear fission of fissile materials as the isotope uranium-235.

The following is typical, but there are a number of variations, mostly minor:

Uranium is first found by exploration. It is then mined. The ore is milled to produce small pieces, which are then chemically leached to produce an uranate called yellocake. The yellowcake is reacted to produce uranium hexafluoride , which is then run through centrifuges to separate a heavier fraction from a lighter fraction. The lighter fraction is the enriched material used for power plants, the heavier is referred to as depleted. The enriched uranium is chemically converted to another oxide, uranium dioxide, and this is converted into the form of fuel used in plants, commonly by pressing and sintering. The fuel is encased in cladding of special steels or zircaloy, and then is ready to be put into the reactor.

There is a link to a more detailed answer below.

Uranium 235 is a natural isotope of uranium (the concentration is approx. 0,7 %); uranium 235 is separated from the other uranium isotopes by different methods (centrifugation, gaseous diffusion;also on small scale by laser, mass spectrometric, ion exchange, etc.).

The electron configuration of uranium is: [Rn]5f36d17s2.

I suppose that the real price of enriched uranium is partially secret and also depends on the contract and the signing data. Also is a link between price and politics !

The most important is the enrichment percent in 235U: 3 % or 93 % ? And the quality: nuclear grade, weapons grade, standards for analysis (extremely expensive), etc.

Yes, we can get more electricity from thorium, if you are asking about the supply.

When 232Th is used in a nuclear reactor, it is bred to become 233U. This isotope of uranium has about as much energy available as 235U, so the amount of energy per fission event is about the same for thorium as it is for uranium.

Aside from that, however, there are important differences. Thorium does not need to be enriched, so all of it can be used. The amount of thorium we have is a multiple of the amount of uranium. The combination means that, where we only have a few decades supply of uranium, we have enough thorium to last thousands of years.

An atom has neutrons, protons, electrons. A chemical element has isotopes. With some exceptions isotopes has no name, but a number, equal to atomic mass.

Applications of uranium: - nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors 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.
4. In the future uranium can be extracted from the sea water. - explosive for nuclear weapons
- material for armors and projectiles
- catalyst
- additive for glass and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green or yellow colors)
- toner in photography
- mordant for textiles - additive for the preparation of biological samples for electron microscopy
- shielding material (depleted uranium)
- ballast (counter weights)
- and other minor applications

simple, the bottom number that is missing is the atomic number. Pu is plutonium which happens to have the atomic number of 94. subtract the top number (mass number) and the atomic number and you get the amount of nuetrons, so the answer is 145 neutrons. (its an isotope)

Yes, uranium is indeed malleable, but it is also ductile and radioactive.

Valences of uranium: 3, 4, 5, 6 and probably 2 (in UO).

U234 occurs naturally in small amounts, 0.0054 percent of total U. 1/2 life is 245,500 years. Number of protons 92 (as for all U isotopes), neutrons 142, electrons 92.

Disadvantages of uranium mining and processing:

1. Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment.

2. Uranium is a toxic and radioactive chemical element.

3. Uranium release radium and radon.

Uranium is now placed in a special group (family) of chemical elements - actinoids.
Uranium is considered also a transition metal.

1 pound of uranium 235 is approx. similar to 106 pounds of petrol.

Uranium mining can be conducted safely and responsibly in Australia with strict regulatory controls and monitoring. However, there are environmental and health risks associated with uranium mining, such as radioactive contamination and exposure to miners. It is important to carefully assess these risks and implement strong safety measures to mitigate them.

The element Uranium was named after Uranus.

Uranium is especially a byproduct of phosphate industry; but also a byproduct of gold, vanadium, shales mining.

Use it to boil water, the rising steam turns a turbine that creates electricity thanks to electromagnetic induction ( creating electricity using magnets and coils of wire

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.

Uranium fuel is used to produce a nuclear chain reaction in which the atoms of U 235 undergo fission, which produces a lot of heat, which is then used to produce steam to drive a conventional steam turbine/generator

The name of the natural radioactive chemical element uranium is derived from the name of

the planet Uranus.

Uranium was discovered (as an oxide) by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789.
