Which particles account for the difference between the atomic number and the mass number?

The answer is that it is neutrons that account for the difference between atomic weight and atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom, since they are normally equal. The atomic weightis the sum of the total number of protons, electrons AND neutrons in the atom. Knowing both the atomic number and the atomic weight of an atom lets you know the number of neutrons in the atom (the isotope). Example: Uranium, Atomic Number 92, Atomic Weight 235. The atomic number tell you that the uranium atom has 92 protons and 92 electrons. The atomic weight tells you that it has a combined total of 235 protons, electrons and neutrons. Since you know from the atomic number that there is a total of 184 protons and electrons in the atom (92 + 92) and from the atomic weight that the total number of protons, electons and neutrons is 235 (92 + 92 + X = 235), you now know that there are 151 neutrons in that uranium atom. The atomic number and atomic weight together tell you that the uranium atom 235 has 92 protons, 92 electons and 151 neutrons.


What is the atomic number of uranium and how many neutrons does the isotope uranium-235 have?

The atomic number of uranium is 92. The number of neutrons of the isotope uranium-235 is 143.


What does the 235 mean in U-235?

The "235" in U-235 refers to the atomic mass number of the isotope of uranium. This number indicates that the nucleus of this isotope contains 92 protons and 143 neutrons, resulting in a total atomic mass of approximately 235 atomic mass units. U-235 is significant in nuclear reactions, particularly in nuclear fission, as it can sustain a chain reaction.


What is petroleum atomic number?

Petroleum is a naturally occurring complex mixture of hydrocarbons. It does not have an atomic number like individual elements, as it is a combination of different elements such as carbon and hydrogen.


How you calculate the relative atomic weight of uranium?

The atomic weight of an element is derived from the atomic masses of the isotopes of this element and from the percentage of these isotopes. The correct terms are: - atomic weight for elements - atomic mass for an isotope

How many neutrons does U-235 have?

Uranium 235 has 92 protons and 92 electrons. To find the number of neutrons, follow this equation: Mass # - Atomic # = # of neutrons. Since the mass number of uranium 235 is 235 and has an atomic number of 92, the number of neutrons is 143.
