WHAT DOES URANYL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Uranyl

The uranyl ion is an oxycation of uranium in the oxidation state +6, with the chemical formula 2+. It has a linear structure with short U-O bonds, indicative of the presence of multiple bonds between uranium and oxygen. Four or more ligands are bound to the uranyl ion in an equatorial plane. The uranyl ion forms many complexes, particularly with ligands that have oxygen donor atoms. Complexes of the uranyl ion are important in the extraction of uranium from its ores and in nuclear fuel reprocessing.

Definition of uranyl in the English dictionary

The definition of uranyl in the dictionary is of, consisting of, or containing the divalent ion UO22+ or the group –UO2.
