Approx. 202,5 MeV are released per fission.
When uranium-235 is added to natural uranium, it increases the overall percentage of uranium-235 in the mixture. This can make the uranium more suitable for use in nuclear reactors or weapons, as uranium-235 is more fissile (more easily split by neutrons) than uranium-238.
Because the atomic mass of this isotope is approx. 235 atomic units of mass.
The chemical symbol of uranium is U.
Uranium-235 is the element with a mass number of 235. It is a radioactive isotope of uranium that is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
No, Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are radioactive, natural isotopes (not molecules, but atoms) of the one and the same element: uranium.Both with 92 protons and 235-92 = 143 neutrons in U-235 but 146 neutrons in U-238.
Uranium 235 (and also all the isotopes of uranium) has 92 electrons.
The atomic number of uranium is 92. The number of neutrons of the isotope uranium-235 is 143.
A stable isotope of uranium-235 contains 143 neutrons.
Uranium-235 is an isotope of uranium making up about 0.72% of natural uranium.
Approx. 0,7 % uranium 235 in natural uranium.

The chemical symbol of uranium is U.
Uranium 235 has several isotopes but, 235 would contain 235 electrons in one atom.
Uranium-235 is the element with a mass number of 235. It is a radioactive isotope of uranium that is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
Uranium is a chemical element with three natural isotopes (234, 235, 238). The natural uranium has cca. 0,72 % uranium-235; uranium with a concentration of uranium-235 under 0,72 % is called depleted uranium; uranium with a concentration of uranium -235 above 0,72 % is called enriched uranium. Uranium in nuclear power and research reactors is used as metal, aloys, uranium dioxide, uranium carbides, uranium silicides, etc.
