However, in 1789, the German chemist M. S. Klaproth discovered a new element in pitchblende ores which he named uranium in honor of the planet Uranus, which had been discovered just eight years before. The French scientist Henri Becquerel discovered the radioactive property of uranium in 1896.

Uranium is the metallic chemical element with an atomic number of 92. Its symbol is U, atomic weight is 238.0, and specific gravity is 18.95. It melts at 2,071.4°F (1,133°C) and boils at 6,904.4°F (3,818°C). Natural uranium consists of three isotopes of mass numbers 234 (0.00054%), 235 (0.711%) and 238 (99.275%).

The element Uranium was first isolated by Max Klaproth. In 1938 Otto Hahn and Fritz Straussman, discovvered that a nuetron can split the uranium nucleus, this is called a fission. There were a whole lot more experiments that proved that the nuclear energy was atleast 100 million times stronger than chemical reactions.
