Plutonium is a highly radioactive metal that can emit harmful radiation that damages cells and organs, leading to a higher risk of cancer. Ingesting or inhaling even small amounts of plutonium can be extremely dangerous to human health. Long-term exposure to plutonium can also cause damage to the liver, bones, and kidneys.
Disadvantages of plutonium:
- it is radioactive
- it is toxic
- it is flammable
- in some conditions can reach the critical mass
Plutonium .
Plutonium typically forms Pu4+ ions, where the element has a +4 charge. Therefore, there is one ion for each plutonium atom.
Plutonium has no natural isotopes. All plutonium isotopes are artificially produced through nuclear reactions.
Plutonium react with the majority of nonmetals; plutonium doesn't react with noble gases. Plutonium can form alloys with other metals.
Plutonium is easily oxidized: plutonium oxides are PuO2, PuO; intermediate oxides are possible.
