Description

Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive chemical element with the symbol U and atomic number 92. It is a dense, silvery-white metal. It is found in trace amounts in rocks, soil, water, and air. Uranium is most commonly found in the Earth's crust. Uranium is used as a fuel in nuclear power plants and as a weapon in nuclear bombs. Uranium is also used in medical imaging, in the production of certain types of glass, and in the development of new technologies. Uranium is a heavy metal that can be toxic in high doses. Uranium is classified as a carcinogenic agent by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Uranium is a complex element with a wide range of properties and uses. The study of uranium is important because it is used in many different industries and has a significant impact on the environment. Uranium is a heavy metal and is considered a toxic element. Its chemical properties and radioactive nature make it a complex element to study. It can be present in different oxidation states, which can affect its chemical behaviour and toxicity. Uranium can be released into the environment through natural processes such as weathering and erosion. Uranium is also released into the environment through human activities such as mining, processing, and disposal of nuclear waste. The study of uranium is important to understand its environmental fate and its effects on human health. Uranium is also used in medical imaging, in the production of certain types of glass, and in the development of new technologies.'

Uranium: A radioactive element of the actinide series of metals. It has an atomic symbol U, atomic number 92, and atomic weight 238.03. U-235 is used as the fissionable fuel in nuclear weapons and as fuel in nuclear power reactors. [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

Overview

Uranium (U) is a non-essential and toxic element that is taken up by plants from the environment. Uranium is an important fuel for nuclear power, with 4.5 billion tons of it stored in the oceans, 1,000 times more than on land.
