The change of a neutron in the nucleus of an atom into a proton and an electron is beta minus decay. In this form of radioactive decay, the weak interaction (weak force) mediates the transformation of a neutron into a proton, and an electron and an antineutrio. The later two are ejected from the nucleus immediately. If this happens, the uranium atom has now undergone nuclear transformation, and it has changed from uranium (92U) to plutonium (94P).

How many protons neutrons and electrons does uranium hae?

For the natural isotopes of uranium: Uranium 238 has: 92 protons, 92 electrons and 146 neutrons. Uranium 235 has: 92 protons, 92 electrons and 143 neutrons. Uranium 234 has: 92 protons, 92 electrons and 142 neutrons.


How many protons and neutrons are in uranium-241?

Uranium is the 92nd element on the periodic table. That means there are 92 protons in 1 uranium atom, no matter which isotope. Protons are constant through an element. Every single atom of Uranium has 92 protons. Neutrons, however change with isotopes. 241 is the number of protons and neutrons together. So subtract 92 from 241 to get the number of neutrons in uranium 241


What are the sub-atomic particles of uranium?

Protons, neutrons and electrons - as in all the other chemical elements.


How many protons electrons and neutrons do uranium have?

92 protons 92 electrons, 125 to 150 neutrons depending on the isotope (natural or artificial). For the natural isotopes of uranium: Uranium 238 has: 92 protons, 92 electrons and 146 neutrons. Uranium 235 has: 92 protons, 92 electrons and 143 neutrons. Uranium 234 has: 92 protons, 92 electrons and 142 neutrons.


How many electrons protons and neutrons are in uranium?

Uranium isotopes have 92 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons


How many protons electrons and neutrons in uranium -234?

Uranium 234 has: 92 protons, 92 electrons and 142 neutrons.


If uranium has an atomic number of 92 how many protons and neutrons are found in the uranium 238 atom?

In a uranium-238 atom, the number in the isotope name stands for the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. So in this case, uranium-238 has 92 protons (atomic number) and 146 neutrons (238 - 92).


What is the nuclear composition of uranium-235?

Uranium-235 consists of 92 protons and 143 neutrons in its nucleus.


List the numbers of protons electrons and neutrons in uranium?

Uranium has 92 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope: number of neutrons = atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of uranium (92)


How many protons neutrons and electrons are in uranium 227?

Uranium has 92 protons and 92 electrons as its atomic number is 92. In U-227, there are 135 neutrons (227 - 92 = 135)


How many protons electrons and neutrons in uranium -238?

Protons = 92 Electrons = 92 Neutrons = 146 The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are each equal to the atomic number of the element (92). The number of neutrons equals the atomic weight minus the number of protons (238 - 92 = 146).Uranium has 92 protons, 92 electrons, and usually 147 neutrons, though another isotope has 143 neutrons.


How many protons and electrons in uranium 235?

Uranium-235 has 92 protons and 92 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which is 92 for uranium. The number of electrons is also equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
