Only 0.7% of natural uranium is 'fissile', or capable of undergoing fission, the process by which energy is produced in a nuclear reactor. The form, or isotope, of uranium which is fissile is the uranium-235 (U-235) isotope. ... Most is then converted into uranium hexafluoride, ready for the enrichment plant.

Answer:

Use of fissionable elements to produce heat and is obtained in underground mines.

Explanation:

Nuclear plants use chemical elements that when subjected to nuclear reactions (fission or fusion) release considerable amounts of energy (heat). This heat is used to produce steam and move turbines that generate electrical energy.

The nuclear compounds are obtained mainly in underground mines, after this the compounds are extracted and subjected to purification processes the purified element is taken to nuclear power plants where they are used to obtain the electrical energy.

What types of atoms form cations
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. The electrostatic attraction between the positives and negatives brings the particles together and creates an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride.

Express as ordinary numbers. 6.02 x 109 =
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

  • 6,020,000,000

Explanation:

The given number is 6.02 × 10⁹. It is written is scientific notation.

As you see it has two parts:

  •   The first part are the digits with the decimal point after the first digit. This part is called mantissa. The mantissa can only have one digit, between 1 and 9, before the decimal point.

  • The second part is a power of 10. The exponent can be either positive or negative.

If the exponent is negative means that the decimal point must be moved to the left and if the exponent is positive means that the decimal point must be moved to the right.

In the number 6.02 × 10⁹ the exponent is 9, so you must move the decimal point 9 places to the right:

  • 6.02 × 10⁹ = 6.02 × 1,000,000,000 - 6,020,000,000,
