Uranium has 29 known isotopes and isomers (3 natural and 26 artificial). Two other isotopes are not still confirmed.
For all elements heavier than Bismuth, all their isotopes are radioactive.

∙ 14y agoAll atoms are not radio active. If it is so we could not touch a thing and many such ones. All the elements in the nature have a definite proportion of isotopes to the original element,s atoms. for example carbon exists as c12 and c14. The c12 is the carbon we consider mostly when we see carbon. But a very very small proportion of c14(isotope of c12) is present in the elemental state of carbon. the c14 atoms are the radio active atoms.

Does 12C have fewer neutron than 13C?
Yes. Both carbon atoms have 6 protons. However, the 12C atom has 6 neutrons while the 13C atom has 7 neutrons :)
When an atom has an unbalanced ratio of protons and neutrons what will it try to do to stabalize itself?
There generally isn't a problem; the more protons an atom has, the more neutrons it takes to glue them together. A Helium atom has two protons and generally two neutrons; in every other stable atom, there are more neutrons than protons. There are isotopes of elements with fewer-than-normal numbers of neutrons; these isotopes are generally unstable and radioactive, and will generally decay into other elements.
What is true of all atoms that are anions A more electrons than protons B more protons than electrons C fewer protons than neutral atom of same element D more neutrons than protons E net charge is 1-?
Answer A is correct: there are more electrons than protons. However, if a particle is an anion, it is not an atom. Atoms are electrically neutral.
How does the number of neutrons affect an atoms charge?
It wouldn't change the reaction rate etc. chemically. However, it would be physically heavier and if too many neutrons are added then the atom will become radioactive and unstable, using beta emission to stabilise itself. and i thank my wonderful physics teacher for teaching me that =]
How many protons neutrons shells and electrons are in nickel?
The number of neutrons varies as there are isotopes to every element, meaning a different number of neutrons. The most common isotopes of nickel have 30 or 32 neutrons. All nickel atoms have 28 protons, and (if neutral) 28 electrons. Nickel ions will have fewer electrons depending on the charge. Neutrally charged nickel has 28 protons, 28 electrons and 31 neutrons
Will an atom with more neutrons react identically to an atom of the same element with fewer neutrons?
Not always. Some atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are radioactive, whereas the other atoms are not.
12C has one fewer proton than 13C?
Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are atoms of carbon, different isotopes of the element. Carbon owes its chemical identity, indeed, its elemental identity, to the number of protons in its nucleus. There are 6 of them. No more, no less. Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Carbon 14 has fewer protons than neutrons.

What element has fewer or more neutrons than protons?
The vast majority
Does most atoms have more protons than electrons?
no a neutral atom does not have more protons than it does atoms. if it really were neutral it would have the equal amount of electrons and protons. if an atom had more protons than neutrons, it would be a positive atom and vice versa. so to answer this question. NO A NEUTRAL ATOM DOES NOT HAVE MORE PROTONS THAN NEUTRONS.

What is an atom with more or fewer neutrons than atoms of the same element?
An atom of a certain element with a different number of neutrons compared with the common form of the element is called an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but a different number of neutrons (which means that they have a different atomic mass number).
The total number of protons amd neutrons in the nucleus determines the atoms?
This is the "mass number" of the atom, indicating relative mass of an isotope.For example uranium-235 (235U) is a lighter atom than uranium-238 (238U) because while both isotopes have 92 protons (the atomic number), the first has 3 fewer neutrons.
How do two isotopes of an element similar?
Every element has a set number of protons. Always. Electrons are determined by the charge on the atom. If it is positive, it has fewer electrons than protons; if it is negative, it has more electrons than protons. Isotopes are atoms with different numbers of neutrons. So, neutral carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 12 neutrons. Likewise, neutral carbon-14 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 14 neutrons. Carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes
