There are 143 neutrons.
Uranium has 92 electrons and protons.Uranium-234 has 142 neutrons, uranium-235 has 143 neutrons and uranium-238 has 146 neutrons.
The most common isotope of uranium is uranium-238 with 146 neutrons.
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
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.
The atomic weight minus the number of protons = the atom's neutrons.
In a uranium-238 atom, the number in the isotope name stands for the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. So in this case, uranium-238 has 92 protons (atomic number) and 146 neutrons (238 - 92).
The atomic number of uranium is 92. The number of neutrons of the isotope uranium-235 is 143.
Uranium-237 has 142 neutrons. This can be determined by subtracting the atomic number (92) from the atomic mass (237) of uranium-237.
Uranium has 92 electrons and protons.Uranium-234 has 142 neutrons, uranium-235 has 143 neutrons and uranium-238 has 146 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.
The most common isotope of uranium is uranium-238 with 146 neutrons.
You can't have that combination. Such an atom wouldn't be stable - not even for a tiny fraction of a second.The atomic mass is the sum of the atomic number (i.e., the number of protons), and the number of neutrons.
Finding out how many neutrons are in a atom is easy. All you have to do is find the element's atomic number and atomic weight.
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 element uranium (U) has 92 protons in its nucleus. That's where its atomic number comes from. When we see an isotope of an element written in "standard" form, the element name or symbol will be followed by the atomic mass (atomic weight) of the isotope. This number is basically the number of protons and neutrons (called nucleons when they are in an atomic nucleus) in an atom. In this case, we have U-235 and U-238. In the first case, 235 - 92 = 143, so U-235 has 143 neutrons. In the second case, 238 - 92 = 146, so U-238 has 146 neutrons. See the Related Questions below for how to find the number of neutrons in any atom.
