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.

If uranium has an atomic number of 92 how many protons and neutrons are found in the uranium 238 atom?
Uranium 238 has 92 protons and 146 neutrons.
How many protons are in the nucleus of each barium atom?
56 protons.
How many electrons in 234U?
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
Can an atomic number tell you how many protons an atom has?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.

If uranium has an atomic number of 92 how many protons and neutrons are found in the uranium 238 atom?
Uranium 238 has 92 protons and 146 neutrons.
How many neutrons are in the isotope uranium-238?
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.
