uranium (U), radioactive chemical element of the actinoid series of the periodic table, atomic number 92. It is an important nuclear fuel. Uranium constitutes about two parts per million of Earth’s crust. Some important uranium minerals are pitchblende (impure U3O8), uraninite (UO2), carno...
Atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus): 92 Atomic symbol (on the Periodic Table of Elements): U Atomic weight (average mass of the atom): 238.02891 Density: 18.95 grams per cubic centimeter Phase at room temperature: Solid Melting point: 2,075 degrees Fahrenheit (1,135 degrees Ce...
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...
5.8.4 Dating based on 238U decay In the uranium decay series 8 α-particles are emitted in the decay from 238U to 206Pb. Thus for every 8 helium atoms found in a uranium mineral, one atom of 238U must have decayed to 206Pb. Designating the number of original uranium atoms in the samp...
It is a silvery-grey metal and belongs to the actinide series of the periodic table. Uranium is weakly radioactive, the reason being the instability of all its isotopes.Uranium-238 (146 neutrons) and Uranium-235 (143 neutrons) are its most common isotopes. Uranium's mass number is ...
Computational electronic structure analysis of 1* Having established that the B3LYP functional appropriately models the experimental15N NMR data for1*, we re-analysed the electronic structure of1*in order to rationalise its downfield15Nnitrideδiso. Previously reported calculations on1*using the BP86 fu...
Covalency involving the 5f orbitals is regularly invoked to explain the reactivity, structure and spectroscopic properties of the actinides, but the ionic versus covalent nature of metal-ligand bonding in actinide complexes remains controversial. The tet
Electronic structure. To set up the quantitative analysis below, we first build a conceptual framework for the uranium nitride group, then develop this into ab initio models, and finally para- meterize the results to a CF and SOC Hamiltonian. 2 NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | 7:13773 | DOI: 10.1038...
