I suck at science.
This didn't make me want to help for a start. You are asking a question. Not making us feel sorry for you. I was told of for doing it, so are you.

Can anyone help me please?
What is the natural state of plutonium?

Thanks Bill
Plutonium is a transuranic element. It existing in small traces in natural with Uranium Ores. Most of it is manufactured in nuclear reactors by beta-particle decay from Uranium-239.

I assume the natural state you mention is that it is found naturally as an unstable radioactive element with Uranium Ores. Larger quantities are found in nuclear reactors after beta-particle decay, which leaves Plutonium in its element form, I believe.

Most likely I am wrong but I hope what you want is in here.
