The element uranium (U) has 92 protons in its nucleus. That's where its atomic number comes from. When we see an isotope of an element written in "standard" form, the element name or symbol will be followed by the Atomic Mass (atomic weight) of the isotope. This number is basically the number of protons and neutrons (called nucleons when they are in an atomic nucleus) in an atom. In this case, we have U-235 and U-238. In the first case, 235 - 92 = 143, so U-235 has 143 neutrons. In the second case, 238 - 92 = 146, so U-238 has 146 neutrons. See the Related Questions below for how to find the number of neutrons in any atom.
