Uranium has 92 protons, 146 neutrons, and 92 electrons.
Uranium protons
- Protons = atomic number
From the periodic table, find the atomic number of uranium.
The atomic number of uranium is 92. Hence, uranium has a total of 92 protons.
Uranium neutrons
- Neutrons = atomic mass – atomic number
The atomic mass of uranium is 238.02891, so we’ll take the roundup value as 238. And the atomic number of uranium is 92.
Subtract the atomic number (92) from the atomic mass (238). Hence, uranium has a total of 238 – 92 = 146 neutrons.
Uranium electrons
- Electrons = atomic number
The atomic number of uranium is 92. Hence, uranium has a total of 92 electrons.
