Uranium compounds have been used as colouring agents for ceramics. Uranium hexafluoride (UF 6) is a solid with an unusually high vapour pressure (115 torr = 0.15 atm = 15,300 Pa) at 25 °C (77 °F). UF 6 is chemically very reactive, but, despite its corrosive nature in the vapour state, UF 6 has been widely used in the gas-diffusion and …
