Plutonium is a silvery radioactive metal that tarnishes in air to give a yellow oxide coating. It has six allotropic forms, which vary widely in crystal structure and density. The metal is chemically reactive, forming compounds with the halogens, carbon, nitrogen, and silicon. If held, plutonium would be warm to the touch because of the energy given off in alpha decay, and a large piece of the metal could boil water. . with a Focus on the Savannah River Site. Tom Clements.
