uranium 238
Uranium 238 is the most common isotope of uranium found in nature. It is both a primordial nuclide and a fertile material, which means it is found in the earth since its formation and can be used to produce nuclear energy. It has 92 protons and 146 neutrons for a total atomic mass of approximately 238 u. Uranium 238 decays slowly via alpha decay into Thorium 234, with a half-life of about 4.5 billion years. This decay process is often used in radiometric dating of rocks and minerals.
