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.
Uranium-235 has 143 neutrons, and uranium-238 has 146 neutrons.
92 protons for all isotopes of uranium because the atomic number is 92.
The isotope 238U has 92 protons; all the isotopes of uranium have 92 protons.

How many neutrons are found in argon?
Argon has 22 neutrons.
Does nuclei of all atoms contain both protons and neutrons?
No, not all nuclei contain both protons and neutrons. Hydrogen-1, the simplest atom, has only one proton in its nucleus and no neutrons. Other elements can have different numbers of protons and neutrons in their nuclei.
How many neutrons are in Indium?
Indium has 66 neutrons.
How many neutron's does chlorine have?
the average amount of neutrons in chlorine is 18, but there could be more or less with the different isotopes
How many protons and neutrons and electrons does lithium have?
how many protons neutrons and electrons does lithium have? 3 protons 4 neutrons 3 electronsA lithium atom has three protons and so three electrons. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope, with the two naturally occurring stable isotopes of lithium, 6Li and 7Li, having 3 and 4 neutrons respectively.3: In any neutral atom, there are the same number of electrons as of protons, and the number of protons is the same as the atomic number, which for lithium is 3.
How many neutrons are in uranium 235 and uranium 238 respectively?
143 & 146
How many neutrons are in the element zinc?
It depends on the isotope. Zn-64 and Zn-68 isotopes have 34 and 38 neutrons respectively.
How many netrons are in a nitrogen atom?
In a nitrogen-14 atom, there are 7 neutrons, where the isotopes with mass numbers with 13 and 15, have 6 and 8 neutrons respectively.
How many neutrons are in coppers most stable isotopes?
Two stable isotopes: Cu(63) 69% occurrance and Cu(65) 31%They have (63-29)= 34 and (65-29)= 36 neutrons respectively.
How many electrons and nutrons are in hydrgen?
There is one electron in every hydrogen atom. They have 1, 2 and 3 neutrons respectively in protium, deuterium and tritium.
How many protons and nuetron's do oxygen have?
An oxygen always has 8 protons and normally has 8 neutrons, but a very small minority of oxygen atoms are isotopes of oxygen-17 or oxygen-18 which contain 9 or 10 neutrons respectively.

An atom of neon consists of 10 protons, 10 neutrons and 10 electrons (atomic number = 10; atomic mass = 20)
How many neutrons and electrons in chlorine?
There are two main isotopes of chlorine. Every chlorine atom has 17 electrons where there are 18 and 20 neutrons in chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 respectively.
How many neutrons does the atom silver have?
The atom of silver, which has the chemical symbol Ag and atomic number 47, typically has 61 neutrons. This is calculated by subtracting the atomic number (47) from the atomic mass number (108).
How many neutrons are in the nucleus of a Chlorine atom?
A Chlorine atom typically has 18 neutrons in its nucleus. This is because the atomic number of Chlorine is 17, which represents the number of protons in its nucleus. By adding the number of protons to the number of neutrons, we can determine the total number of particles in the nucleus.
How many protons electron and neutrons does Boron have?
Boron (symbol B, atom number 5) is build up with:5 protons, 5 electrons and 5 or 6 neutrons, depending on the mass number of the two possible isotopes: B-(10) has 5 neutrons and B-(11) has 6 of them respectively.
How many protons electrons and neutrons respectively does iodine have?
The mass number for iodine is 131, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons. Iodine has 53 protons and 53 electrons, if neutral. To find how many neutrons iodine has subtract 53, the number of protons from the mass number of 131. This shows that iodine has 78 neutrons.
