Bombarding uranium-235 with creates energy through fission.?
Bombarding uranium-235 with _____ creates energy through fission.
Is same product formed in fission of uranium 235?
After the nuclear fission of uranium-235 many fission products (other elements) are formed.
Uranium 235 can be split if its hit by what?
Thermal neutrons with an energy of 0,025 eV
What would a lump of enriched uranium the size of a baseball annihilate?
Uranium U -235
To what does plutonium-239 decay when it loses an alpha particle?
Yes, plutonium-239 emits alpha particles by decay.
Does Uranium 238 and 235 release neutrons in nature as they do in a fission process?
Yes, by spontaneous fission, but the nymber of neutrons is very small because the halflife of the spontenuoes fission is: for Uranium 235: (1,0 ± 0,3).1019 years for Uranium 238: (8,20 ± 0,10).1015years
What are the similarities and differences between the isotopes uranium-235 and uranium-238?
Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are the isotopes of the same element - uranium, a natural radioactive chemical element; the atomic number is the same - 92. Also the electronic structure, the number of protons, etc. Differences: atomic mass, number of neutrons, U-235 is fissile with thermal neutrons but U-238 is only fertile, halflife, type of disintegration types and energy of emitted radiations, etc.
What is the halflife of Uranium-239?
The half-life of uranium-239 is 23.45 minutes.
What is the halflife of plutonium 235?
The half life of plutonium-235 is 25,3(5) minutes.
What is the percentage of uranium-235?
Uranium-235 is an isotope of uranium making up about 0.72% of natural uranium.
What percentage of mined uranium is 235?
Approx. 0,7 % uranium 235 in natural uranium.
Uranium-235 has a half life of?
The half-life is 700 million years !
Uranium -235 and uranium -238 are different of uranium?
Isotopes Uranium 235 and uranium 238 are only natural isotopes of the element uranium.
What is uranium 235 when added to natural uranium?
Uranium-235 is not added to natural uranium, it is extracted from natural uranium by a process called enrichment.
What are 3 benefits of uranium 235?
Uranium 235 is a fissile material under thermal neutrons: - uranium 235 is used as a nuclear fuel in nuclear energetic reactors - uranium 235 can be used in nuclear bombs
What 2 radioactive elements were chosen for the atomic bomb?
Uranium and Plutonium
Enriched uranium uranium 235 or uranium 238?
Enriched uranium is still usually mainly 238U, but it has a higher percentage of 235U than the natural abundance. Depleted uranium is exactly the opposite: it's got a LOWER than normal amount of 235U.
