Question

An isotope of uranium is ₉₂Y²³⁸, i.e., it has mass number 235 and atomic number 92.
Find the number of electrons in the neutral atom of this isotope.

Answer 1

Since it is a neutral atom, the number of proton will be equal to the number of electrons.

Number of protons = Atomic number = 92

∴ Number of electrons = 92
