When a Uranium 238 emits an alpha particle the nucleus left behind has how many protons?
90 protons left
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.
How many electrons and protons does uranium contain?
92 protonsAll the isotopes of uranium has 92 protons.
When uranium-238 atomic number 92 decays by emitting an alpha particle it becomes?
The atomic number will decrease by 2. An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus, and it contains a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons. During alpha decay, an atomic nucleus has its atomic mass decrease by 4, and its atomic number decrease by 2.
Why is it easier to split a Uranium 235 nucleus using neutrons than using alpha particles?
they wont be repelled by the electromagnetic fields of the electron shell or the nucleus
When a Uranium 238 emits an alpha particle the nucleus left behind has how many protons?
90 protons left
What is the number of protons in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
92 protons in uranium nucleus
How many protons does uranium have in its nucleus?
Uranium has 92 protons.
How do you find the number of neutrons in the nucleus of uranium?
Number of neutrons in an atomic nucleus = Atomic mass of an isotope - Number of protons in the nucleus For uranium the number of protons is 92; each isotope has of course a different mass.
What does uranium consist of?
Uranium is a natural chemical element, radioactive. Uranium has 92 protons and electrons in the nucleus; the number of neutrons in the nucleus depends on what isotope we consider.
Why must the bullet that splits a uranium atom be neutral?
The bullet that splits a uranium atom is a neutron. Other possible bullets are protons and alpha particles. But these particles are positively charged and so will be repelled by the nucleus of the uranium atom since it contains protons in plenty. Like charges repel. So the uranium nucleus with the positive charge will repel other positive charges. Neutron is a neutral particle and so is not repelled. So a neutron is used as a bullet to split uranium atom.
What type of particle is emitted when a U-235 decays to Np-235?
It is negative beta particle emitted by a uranium nucleus and converting it to neptunium nucleus.
What is the number of protons and neutrrons in a nucleus of uranium?
Uranium's atomic number is 92. Thus, all isotopes of uranium have 92 protons. The most common isotope of uranium is 238U, which has 238 - 92 = 146 neutrons.
What compose An alpha particle?
Actually right from the heavy nuclei such Uranium, Thorium etc a particle comes out. It seems composed of two protons and two neutrons. It is named as alpha particle by Henry Becquerel without knowing the actual composition of the same. If there be two protons inside, then it is named as Helium. So alpha particle is nothing but the Helium nucleus or doubly ionised Helium atom.
How many protons are in the nucleus of an atom of Uranium - 238?
Uranium atoms (no matter which isotope) ALL have the same number of protons 92. it is in the umber of neutrons that changes between the isotopes.
How many protons does the nucleus have?
That varies depending on the element: e.g. hydrogen has 1 proton, uranium has 92 protons.
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.
