Question
Chapter 31, Problem 7Q
To determine
Why the uranium cannot be enriched by chemical methods?
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 7Q
Solution:
The uranium cannot be enriched by chemical means because it is not possible to change the number of neutrons by chemical means.
Explanation of Solution
Uranium is the radioactive element. But, the percentage of is less because is abundant in nature. To change the number of neutrons, nuclear process is needed rather than chemical methods.
