Parts Per Million Degrees Centigrade
410 wordsUranium is a silvery-white element possessing a very radioactive and oxidizing character. Uranium retains a density of 19. 07 grams per cubic centimeter and a melting point of roughly 1, 132 degrees centigrade. With a boiling point of approximately 3, 818 degrees Celsius uranium is not an easy element to get to a melting or boiling point. The Periodic Table says that uranium has 92 protons and 146 neutrons thereby acquiring a atomic weight of 238 atomic mass units. Uranium burns readily in air a...

Long Term Effects World War Ii
2,387 wordsRadium is a silver-white, highly radioactive element. It? s atomic number is 88, and it is the heaviest alkali earth metal, having a mass number of 226. 025 (See Figure 1). Radium has at least twenty six isotopes, and all are radioactive (Shriver 1995). Since radium is chemically similar to calcium and magnesium, it is absorbed by the bones of animals. Once in the bones, it emits alpha, beta, and gamma rays (Shriver 1993). These rays shrink or destroy tissues and they are the reason radium is so...
