What is the number of subatomic particles that make up the nucleus of a Uranium 235 atom?

The subatomic particles located in an atom's nucleus are protons and neutrons. Uranium has an atomic number of 92, thus has 92 protons. That means 235U must have 235 - 92 = 143 neutrons.

Which subatomic particle identifies an atom of a particular element?
It's the count of one of the subatomic particles in the nucleus, the proton, that is significant in this regard. For example, an atom is hydrogen if and only if it has one proton in its nucleus. It is neon if and only if it has ten protons in its nucleus.
What subatomic particles make up the atom?
protons, neutrons and electrons are the main subatomic particles of the atom. There are the same number of protons as electrons, which is equal to the atomic number. The number of neutrons may vary according to the isotope of the element.
What information about the subatomic makeup of an atom is given by the atomic number?
The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.
How do subatomic particles tells you what element it is?
The number of protons determines what is the element.
How many subatomic particles make up iron atoms?
The typical amount of particles in the nucleus of an iron atom is 56, in the isotope 56Fe which in nature is about 91.7% of iron atoms. 54Fe (5.8%), 57Fe(2.2%) and 58Fe(.28%) making up the balance.
What does the mass number equal?
The total number of subatomic particles in the nucleus
What is the subatomic particles on which the atomic number is based?
Number of protons in the nucleus is the atomic number.
How do you determine sum of subatomic particles?
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus.
The atomic number for an element is the total number of subatomic particles?
False; the atomic number is the total number if protons in the nucleus only.
What is ment by atomic number?
Atomic Number is the amount of Protons (positively charged subatomic particles) contained in the nucleus of an atom.
How many subatomic particles are in a symbol of a nuclide?
Symbols of nucldes doesn't contain symbols of subatomic particles. But: the atomic number is equal to the number of neutrons. Example: 235 92U (the fissile isotope of uranium) - 235 is the mass number (sum of protons and neutrons) - 92 is the number of protons and electrons
What is the total number of subatomic particles in the nucleus of an atom bi?
In this case, the number 209 represents the sum of protons + neutrons.
What is the number of protons in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
92 protons in uranium nucleus
How many particles are found in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
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.
What is the number of subatomic particles for oxygen?
24
How can subatomic particles help identify an element?

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.
