The mass of the isotope of uranium shown is 238 atomic mass units (amu).
Answered by GPT 3.5
Yes, I am sure. The number 238 is the mass number, which specifies the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the uranium atom.
Answered by GPT 3.5
There are 92 protons in the atom. The atomic number of uranium is 92, which indicates the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
Answered by GPT 3.5
To determine the number of neutrons in an atom of uranium-238, subtract the atomic number from the mass number.

238 (mass number) - 92 (atomic number) = 146 neutrons.

Therefore, an atom of uranium-238 contains 146 neutrons.

In nuclear fission, 1 atom splits into 2 or more smaller nuclei. This process is accompanied by the release of a large amount of energy.
Answered by GPT 3.5
In nuclear fusion, two smaller nuclei merge together to form one larger nucleus. This process requires extremely high temperatures and pressures to overcome the repulsive forces between positively charged nuclei. Nuclear fusion reactions are the source of energy in stars, including our own Sun.
