Uranium's atomic number is 92. Thus, all isotopes of uranium have 92 protons. The most common isotope of uranium is 238U, which has 238 - 92 = 146 neutrons.
Uranium is a natural chemical element, radioactive. Uranium has 92 protons and electrons in the nucleus; the number of neutrons in the nucleus depends on what isotope we consider.
Uranium, atomic number 92, has several isotopes, and 238U is just one of them. Remember that a nucleon is one of the particles that make up the nucleus of an atom, and that means a proton or a neutron. In the case of this isotope of uranium, it has the 92 protons we'd expect for uranium, and it has 146 neutrons in its nucleus along with those protons. That's 238 necleons in the nucleus if 238U. Wikipedia has more information on uranium and on the nucleon, and links are provided.
Uranium atomic number: 92 Uranium atomic weight: 238,02891 Uranium number of protons: 92
The two isotopes (or varieties) of the element uranium, U238 and U235 have slightly different weights due to different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. But, they have the same atomic number (meaning they have the same number of protons in the nucleus and the same number of electrons bound to the nucleus). Because they have the same number of electrons, from a chemical point of view, they are identical: that is, they form the same kinds of bonds with other elements and they cannot be separated by chemical means.
Atomic mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons Number of protons of uranium nucleus is 92. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope. Example for 238U: 92 protons + 146 neutrons = 238
92 protons in uranium nucleus
Number of neutrons in an atomic nucleus = Atomic mass of an isotope - Number of protons in the nucleus For uranium the number of protons is 92; each isotope has of course a different mass.
Uranium is a natural chemical element, radioactive. Uranium has 92 protons and electrons in the nucleus; the number of neutrons in the nucleus depends on what isotope we consider.
The atomic number of an element accounts for the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom of that element. For example: * Hydrogen atomic number is one. The nucleus of its atom has one proton. * Oxygen atomic number is 8. The nucleus of its atom has 8 protons. * Iron atomic number is 26. The nucleus of its atom has 26 protons. * Lead atomic number is 82. The nucleus of its atom has 82 protons. * Uranium atomic number is 92. The nucleus of its atom has 92 protons.

Uranium atoms (no matter which isotope) ALL have the same number of protons 92. it is in the umber of neutrons that changes between the isotopes.
92. All isotopes of Uranium have 92 protons. The number of protons in each element is represented by the atomic number of that element. Uranium is atomic # 92, so it will always have 92 protons. The difference in atomic mass (that's the 234 here) is due to difference in number of neutrons. Atomic mass is calculated (#of protons + # of neutrons), so Uranium-234 has 92 protons and 142 neutrons. Uranium-235 would have 92 protons and 143 neutrons and so forth. The number of protons contained in the nucleus of ANY atom will remain constant in ALL isotopes of the same element. Ex. Carbon-12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, Carbon-13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons, etc. Carbon has an atomic number of 6. If the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom were different, it would no longer be the same element. Ex. Carbon - atomic #6 - has 6 protons with one more proton in the nucleus, it would have 7, and have atomic # 7.... then it would just be...... Nitrogen! Nitrogen - atomic #7 - has 7 protons
The subatomic particles located in an atom's nucleus are protons and neutrons. Uranium has an atomic number of 92, thus has 92 protons. That means 235U must have 235 - 92 = 143 neutrons.
how many particles are found in the nucleus of a uranium atom? 92 protons and x neutrons; the number of the neutrons is dependent of the isotope atomic mass. Also 92 electrons.
Uranium atomic number: 92 Uranium atomic weight: 238,02891 Uranium number of protons: 92
So far as I know, there are no "2 what and 2 what"s that make up uranium. Uranium has 92 protons in its nucleus and 92 orbital electrons. The number of neutrons in the nucleus depends on what isotope you are interested in.
The two isotopes (or varieties) of the element uranium, U238 and U235 have slightly different weights due to different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus.
