A particular neutral uranium atom has 92 protons,143 neutrons, and an atomic mass of 235. How many electrons does the atom have?
thanks, whos here in 2020
I dislike Chemistry :O
Anyway I do know this:
For an atom, the number of natural occurring protons should have the same number of electrons.
So your atom should have 92 electrons given if it's not an (ion or man made isotope).
That is correct.
meh
To determine the number of electrons in a neutral atom, we need to know its atomic number. The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
In this case, the atom mentioned is uranium, which has an atomic number of 92. Therefore, the uranium atom has 92 electrons.
To find the atomic number, you can refer to the periodic table of elements. Each element is assigned a unique atomic number, which is displayed above the element's symbol.
In summary, the uranium atom with 92 protons will also have 92 electrons.
