This didn't make me want to help for a start. You are asking a question. Not making us feel sorry for you. I was told of for doing it, so are you.billnyethescienceguy said:I suck at science.
Plutonium is a transuranic element. It existing in small traces in natural with Uranium Ores. Most of it is manufactured in nuclear reactors by beta-particle decay from Uranium-239.billnyethescienceguy said:Can anyone help me please?
What is the natural state of plutonium?
Thanks Bill
Plutonium is a radioactive metallic chemical element with the symbol Pu and atomic number 94. It is a transuranic element that is a byproduct of nuclear reactions in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
No, plutonium is not naturally occurring. It is a man-made element that is produced through the irradiation of uranium in nuclear reactors or through the detonation of nuclear weapons.
The natural state of plutonium is solid at room temperature. It has a silvery-white appearance and can be found in different forms, including a ductile and malleable metal or a brittle ceramic.
Plutonium is highly toxic to humans due to its radioactivity. It emits alpha particles, which can cause damage to cells and tissues if ingested or inhaled. It is also a carcinogen and has been linked to various health issues.
Yes, small amounts of plutonium can occur in the environment due to nuclear accidents or testing. However, it is not naturally found in significant quantities in the Earth's crust and is mainly a product of human activities.
