Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are different isotopes of the element uranium. They have different mass numbers due to different numbers of neutrons.
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number So Fluorine = 19- 9 = 10 and Neon = 20-10 = 10 :)
Nuclei of atoms contain protons (+) and neutrons. The electrons (-) circle the nucleus on orbitals, forming the electron cloud. In a balanced or neutral atom, there will be the same number of protons in the nucleus as there are electrons outside of the nucleus. The number of neutrons can vary within the same element; that's how you get isotopes (e.g. Carbon-13 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 7 neutrons...The 13 is the atomic mass representing the sum of the protons and neutrons)
LHC - Large Hadron Collider (Hadron is a type of particle of which the protons and neutrons that make up atomic nuclei are examples.)
What do you mean. Uranium is not soluble in water.
When uranium-235 is struck with a neutron, it typically produces two or three neutrons as a byproduct along with the formation of krypton-92 and barium-141 nuclei.
Protons do not directly hit uranium to cause it to split. Uranium undergoes nuclear fission when bombarded by neutrons, not protons. The neutrons are absorbed by the uranium nucleus, leading to its splitting into smaller nuclei and the release of energy.
Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are isotopes of each other because they have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons in their nuclei. The slight difference in mass due to the differing number of neutrons affects their chemical behavior, with uranium-235 being slightly lighter and therefore exhibiting some differences in chemical reactions compared to uranium-238.
Yes, uranium nuclei split into two smaller nuclei during nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and additional neutrons.
During the main sequence phase of a star's life, hydrogen nuclei are fused together to form helium in a process called nuclear fusion. This fusion process releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat, which is what powers the star and allows it to shine brightly.
Uranium-230 is a radioactive isotope of uranium with 142 neutrons.
When uranium nuclei are bombarded with neutrons, they can undergo nuclear fission, splitting into smaller nuclei, releasing energy and more neutrons. This process can lead to a self-sustaining chain reaction, producing additional energy and radioactive byproducts.
This process is called nuclear fission.
Uranium has 92 electrons and protons.Uranium-234 has 142 neutrons, uranium-235 has 143 neutrons and uranium-238 has 146 neutrons.
The process is called nuclear fission. When uranium-235 splits, it releases a large amount of energy along with smaller nuclei and multiple neutrons. This chain reaction continues as these neutrons can cause additional uranium-235 atoms to undergo fission.
The nucleus of uranium typically contains 92 protons and varying numbers of neutrons, depending on the isotope. Common isotopes of uranium include uranium-235 and uranium-238, which have 143 and 146 neutrons respectively.
The atomic number of uranium is 92, so its atoms have 92 protons in their nuclei. If uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it would then have the mass number of 236. The number of neutrons is the mass number minus the atomic number, so the number of neutrons in the uranium-236 nuclei would be 236-92=144.
