gq: Uranium metal reacts with almost all non-metal elements (with an exception of the noble gases) and their compounds, with reactivity increasing with temperature. Hydrochloric and nitric acids dissolve uranium, but non-oxidizing acids other than hydrochloric acid attack the element very slowly. When finely divided, it can react with cold water; in air, uranium metal becomes coated with a dark layer of uranium oxide. Uranium in ores is extracted chemically and converted into uranium dioxide or other chemical forms usable in industry.
Question: What non-metal elements does uranium notably not react to? Question: Along with nitric acids, what acids dissolve uranium? Question: What reacts with finely divided uranium? Question: What coats uranium metal in air? Question: What is a notable form uranium ore is converted into after extraction?
