In natural uranium, the constituents of three naturally occuring isotopes are
U₂₃₄ = 0.006%, U₂₃₅ = 0.712% and U₂₃₈ = 99.282%
U₂₃₄ = 0.712%, U₂₃₅ = 0.006% and U₂₃₈ = 99.282%
U₂₃₄ = 99.282%, U₂₃₅ = 0.006% and U₂₃₈ = 0.712%
U₂₃₄ = 0.006%, U₂₃₅ = 99.282% and U₂₃₈ = 0.712%
Correct Answer :
A. U₂₃₄ = 0.006%, U₂₃₅ = 0.712% and U₂₃₈ = 99.282%
