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.
Solution
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
