The number of protons that an element has defines what that element is, regardless of the number of neutrons it has. Therefore, the chemical element having 82 protons, which is lead, or Pb, can take many different forms. In fact, there are 38 different known isotopes of lead, ranging from having 96 neutrons to having 133 neutrons. Despite that, they are all still called lead.

Which element has the largest amount of protons and is not man made?

The element with the largest amount of protons that is not man-made is uranium, with 92 protons. All naturally occurring elements with more protons than uranium are only found in laboratories as synthetic elements.


What element has 92 protons and 146 neutrons?

The element is Uranium , the symbol is (U). The charge is +1 because:Atomic number(Z): # of protons (92), which also tells you what element it is in the periodic table.Ion charge: # of protons (92) - # of electrons (91) = 1Mass number(A): # of protons (92) + # of neutrons (143) =235


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


How many protons neutrons and electrons does U-241 contain?

Uranium being element 92, it has 92 protons. If not ionized it also has 92 electrons. U-241 has 241 protons and neutrons together, so it would have 149 neutrons.

How many protons and neutrons are in uranium-241?

Uranium is the 92nd element on the periodic table. That means there are 92 protons in 1 uranium atom, no matter which isotope. Protons are constant through an element. Every single atom of Uranium has 92 protons. Neutrons, however change with isotopes. 241 is the number of protons and neutrons together. So subtract 92 from 241 to get the number of neutrons in uranium 241

Which has the greater number of protons between U-235 or U238?

All isotopes of uranium have the same number of protons, 92. A nuclide with a number of protons other than that is not uranium.


How many protons are in the isotope 235 92 U of Uranium?

235 (mass number) - 92 (number of protons) = 143 (number of neutrons)
