Difference between Spontaneous fission and Uranium-238

Spontaneous fission vs. Uranium-238

Spontaneous fission (SF) is a form of radioactive decay that is found only in very heavy chemical elements. Uranium-238 (238U or U-238) is the most common isotope of uranium found in nature, with a relative abundance of 99%.

Similarities between Spontaneous fission and Uranium-238

Spontaneous fission and Uranium-238 have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alpha decay, Beta decay, Isotopes of thorium, Neutron, Radioactive decay, Radiometric dating, Soviet Union, Uranium-235.

Alpha decay

Alpha decay or α-decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and thereby transforms or 'decays' into an atom with a mass number that is reduced by four and an atomic number that is reduced by two.

Beta decay

In nuclear physics, beta decay (β-decay) is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray (fast energetic electron or positron) and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.

Isotopes of thorium

Although thorium (90Th) has 6 naturally occurring isotopes, none of these isotopes are stable; however, one isotope, 232Th, is relatively stable, with a half-life of 1.405×1010 years, considerably longer than the age of the Earth, and even slightly longer than the generally accepted age of the universe.

Radioactive decay

Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay or radioactivity) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy (in terms of mass in its rest frame) by emitting radiation, such as an alpha particle, beta particle with neutrino or only a neutrino in the case of electron capture, gamma ray, or electron in the case of internal conversion.

Radiometric dating

Radiometric dating or radioactive dating is a technique used to date materials such as rocks or carbon, in which trace radioactive impurities were selectively incorporated when they were formed.

Soviet Union

The Soviet Union, officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was a socialist state in Eurasia that existed from 1922 to 1991.

Spontaneous fission and Uranium-238 Comparison

Spontaneous fission has 55 relations, while Uranium-238 has 86. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 5.67% = 8 / (55 + 86).
