The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom varies. Let's look at the issues.
First, hydrogen is an "odd bird" in the Periodic Table. It is far and away the most common element in the universe, but most of it (over 99.98% !) has on a lone proton for a nucleus. A tiny bit has one neutron, and an even smaller bit has two neutrons. That said, let's look at the "general population" of the periodic table.
Lighter elements have about a one-to-one ratio of neutrons to protons. This ratio creeps up as we move up the periodic table, and it is over two to one (neutrons to protons) at the upper end of the table. Each element has a number of different isotopes, and each isotope has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus. The bottom line is that each isotope of each element will have to be considered individually to determine the number of neutrons in its nucleus.

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.
How is the structure of an atom of uranium 235 different from the structure of an astom of uranium 238?
The main difference is in the number of neutrons present in the nucleus. Uranium-235 has 143 neutrons, while uranium-238 has 146 neutrons. This leads to differences in their relative abundance and stability.
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
The atomic number of uranium is 92 and its atomic mass is 238.how many neutrons does the most common isotope of uranium have.?
The most common isotope of uranium is uranium-238 with 146 neutrons.
How much neutrons have uranium?
Uranium has many isotopes and each isotope has a different number of neutrons (N). N = atomic weight of the isotope - atomic number of uranium (A=92) The number of neutrons of the isotope 92U238 is 238-92=146 and the number of neutrons of the isotope 92U235 is 235-92=143.
What is the atomic number of uranium and how many neutrons does the isotope uranium-235 have?
The atomic number of uranium is 92. The number of neutrons of the isotope uranium-235 is 143.
List the numbers of protons electrons and neutrons in uranium?
Uranium has 92 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope: number of neutrons = atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of uranium (92)
Does U-235 have fewer neutrons than common uranium?
Uranium-235 has 143 neutrons; uranium-238 has 146 neutrons. Each isotope has a different number of neutrons.
How many electrons protons and neutrons are in uranium?
Uranium isotopes have 92 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons
If uranium has an atomic number of 92 how many protons and neutrons are found in the uranium 238 atom?
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).
If uranium atomic number is 92 and it has 10 neutrons how many?
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.
How many neutrons does U-235 have?
Uranium 235 has 92 protons and 92 electrons. To find the number of neutrons, follow this equation: Mass # - Atomic # = # of neutrons. Since the mass number of uranium 235 is 235 and has an atomic number of 92, the number of neutrons is 143.
How many neutrons are there in uranium - 237?
Uranium-237 has 142 neutrons. This can be determined by subtracting the atomic number (92) from the atomic mass (237) of uranium-237.
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.
What is uranium composed of?
Uranium contain 92 electrons and protons. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number
How is the structure of an atom of uranium 235 different from the structure of an astom of uranium 238?
The main difference is in the number of neutrons present in the nucleus. Uranium-235 has 143 neutrons, while uranium-238 has 146 neutrons. This leads to differences in their relative abundance and stability.
What represents the number of protons and neutrons in an atom of uranium?
The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons and the atomic number. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope (number of neutrons = atomic mass of the isotope [or mass number] - number of protons).
