Uranium metal, high-density, and density close to almost gold density, but one atom of uranium mass is much larger than the mass of the gold atom, and
thus the uranium metal is a metal atoms are more metal atoms by weight and most block, and it is not the highest density , as the higher mineral density is osmium (where the density is higher compaction Supreme block inside the unit size and osmium are higher than in uranium).
Uranium metal is the most common metal in nuclear tests in the laboratory, it is natural corn most candidates, nuclear fission and formation of other elements and liberalization of the energy, the atomic number (number of protons) of an atom of uranium is 92, and enriched his six matches in nature are all equal, of course in and atomic number is 92, but they are different in the mass number, Venzaúr uranium known are:
Uranium 232
Uranium 233
Uranium 234
Uranium 235
Uranium 236
Uranium 238
Where the number after the name refers to the weight mass and weight reflect the total mass of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, if the fixed number of protons (the number of protons that determines the identity of corn), the difference is in the number of neutrons in the previous isotopes are respectively as follows (your subtracting 92 from the mass number to get them): 140 141 142, 143 144 146.
And uranium found in nature as the isotope: the highest proportion of uranium 238 isotope, as this constitutes 97% of the amount of uranium found in nature.
The uranium metal component of this radioactivity in the sense that it is stable and its atoms disintegrate Trigaa to be the atoms of other elements and release energy as a result, and this is what scientists to study urged to take advantage of those characteristic of him and is the susceptibility of nuclear fission and energy that could benefit mankind greatly launch .
