Don't you be lying up in this thread! Uranium is very boring looking. Just another grey metal.

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

well yes but also uranium dissolved in glass is fluorescent

and uranium salts are bright yellow

[–] Liz@midwest.social 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You can get loads of pretty uranium colors in solution. I love me some chemistry, where the answer to the question "what color is it?" is preceded by "well it depends on the oxidation state..."

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

wouldn't that be postceded

[–] Liz@midwest.social 1 points 6 months ago

The answer to the question is preceded by the phrase. Yeah, it was tricky grammar but I didn't feel like trying to come up with a more clear phrasing.

Anyway, as in "Well, that depends on the oxidation state. Aqueous +2 would give you..."

i mean technically, if you refine uranium into plutonium, and then isolate plutonium 238. It does glow.
