Uranium atoms each have 92 protons. how many protons does each u-238 atom have? a. 92 b. 146 c. 238 d. 330

The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom. It is represented by Z.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom. It is represented by A.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

We are given an isotopic representation of

Number of protons = 92

Mass number = 238

Number of neutrons = 238 - 92 = 146

For every uranium atom, number of protons will be 92

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

i think the answer is terrae but not 100 percent sure. ▓▬▬ §
