Key Stage 3
Meaning
Plutonium is a Actinide metal element, on the Periodic Table, with an atomic number of 94.
About Plutonium
Molecular Structure
- Plutonium has the chemical symbol Pu.
- Plutonium atoms join together in large numbers to form a giant metal molecule.
Atomic Structure
- Plutonium as 94 protons and 150 neutrons in its nucleus giving it an Atomic Number of 94 and an atomic mass of 244.
- Plutonium is in Period 7 of the Periodic Table because it has 7 electron shells.
Properties
- Plutonium is a metal element so it is a good thermal conductor and a good electrical conductor.
- Plutonium is a shiny solid at room temperature.
- Plutonium is malleable.
- Plutonium is sonorous.
- Plutonium is ductile.
