The bullet that splits a uranium atom is a neutron. Other possible bullets are protons and alpha particles. But these particles are positively charged and so will be repelled by the nucleus of the uranium atom since it contains protons in plenty. Like charges repel. So the uranium nucleus with the positive charge will repel other positive charges. Neutron is a neutral particle and so is not repelled. So a neutron is used as a bullet to split uranium atom.
What else can I help you with?
Number of electrons in a neutral atom of uranium?
A neutral atom of uranium has 92 electrons. This is because the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and an atom is neutral when the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Uranium has an atomic number of 92, which corresponds to the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of uranium.
Is a thorium nucleus released when a uranium atom splits?
No, it is not true !
When the uranium atom splits what does not get released?
Soda pop cans.
Symbol and number of electrons in neutral atom of uranium?
Electron configuration of uranium: [Rn]5f36d17s2
What is the symbol and number of electrons in a neutral atom of uranium?
The chemical symbol of uranium is 'U' and it has 92 electrons.
How do you find the net electrical charge of the uranium atom?
The uranium atom is electric neutral; uranium cations exist from 2+ to 6+.
What is the original atom of uranium?
Uranium neutral atom has 92 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
Is an atom of uranium absorbed a neutron and splits into an atom of krypton and a tom of barium an example of nuclear fission?
Yes, it is true.
Give the symbol and number of electrons in a neutral atom of Uranium?
The chemical symbol of uranium is U. Uranium has 92 electrons.
What is the charge for uranium?
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).
How many electrons are there in a neutral atom of 238 over 92 U?
A neutral atom of (^{238}_{92}\text{U}) would have 92 electrons, as the atomic number (92) is equal to the number of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons (negatively charged particles) in a neutral atom.
What is the charge of uranium 238?
Any electrical charge for the neutral atom. Uranium valences are: 3,4,5,6, 7, possible also 2 in UO.
