----
Plutonium like other actinides readily forms a dioxide plutonyl core (PuO<sub>2</sub>). In the environment, this plutonyl core readily complexes with carbonate as well as other oxygen moieties (OH<sup>-</sup>, NO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup>, NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>, and SO<sub>4</sub><sup>-2</sup>) to form charged complexes which can be readily mobile with low affinities to soil.
