The periodic table places uranium in the actinide series of elements; similarly, it can exist in any of six oxidation states (0, +2, +3, +4, +5, and +6) (CRC, 2012). The +4 state is relatively stable and is associated with hydroxides, phosphates, and fluorides. The +6 state is...
uraninite and carnotite, from which it is extracted and processed for use in research, nuclear fuels, and nuclear weapons. Atomic number 92; atomic weight 238.03; melting point 1,135°C; boiling point 4,131°C; specific gravity 19.1; valence 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. SeePeriodic Table. ...
Uranium is a chemical element; it has symbol U and atomic number 92. It is a silvery-grey metal in the actinide series of the periodic table. A uranium atom has 92 protons and 92 electrons, of which 6 are valence electrons. Uranium radioactively decays by emitting an alpha particle. The...

naturally radioactive silvery-white metal and is one of the more common chemical elements in the Earth’s crust. Denoted by the symbol U, it has atomic number 92 in the periodic table of elements, meaning its nucleus contains 92 positively charged protons, orbited by 92 negatively charged ...
Uranium is a chemical element with the symbol U and atomic number 92. It is a silvery-grey metal in the actinide series of the periodic table. A uranium atom has 92 protons and 92 electrons, of which 6 are valence electrons. Uranium is weakly radioactive
uranium: A dense silvery-white metallic element that is radioactive and toxic, is easily oxidized, and has numerous isotopes of which U-238 is the most abundant in nature. The element occurs in several minerals, including uraninite and carnotite, from wh
Uranium (pronounced /jʊˈreɪniəm/ yoo-RAY-nee-əm) is a silvery-white metallic chemical element in the actinide series of the periodic table with atomic number 92. It is assigned the chemical symbol U. A uranium atom has 92 protons and 92 electrons. 6 of the latter are val...
