Petroleum is not an element and therefore has no atomic weight!
Uranium 235 has several isotopes but, 235 would contain 235 electrons in one atom.
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.
Petroleum is not an element, so it does not have an atomic number.
235 is the approx. atomic mass of the isotope 235U.
Uranium-235 (U-235).
This is the rounded atomic mass of the isotope uranium-235.
i just asked you the question
The atomic number of uranium is 92. The number of neutrons of the isotope uranium-235 is 143.
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.
Because the atomic mass of this isotope is approx. 235 atomic units of mass.
235-92 = 143
