Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the atomic number (Z) of uranium, which is the number of protons. For uranium, Z = 92.
Identify the mass number (A) of the isotope, which is the total number of protons and neutrons. For uranium-235, A = 235.
Recall the relationship between mass number, protons, and neutrons: \(A = Z + N\), where \(N\) is the number of neutrons.
Rearrange the formula to solve for neutrons: \(N = A - Z\).
Substitute the known values: \(N = 235 - 92\), which gives the number of neutrons in uranium-235.
