The number of neutrons in ₉₂ U ²³⁵ nucleus is
Options
- A327
- B235
- C143
- D92
Correct answer
C. 143
Step-by-step solution
The atomic mass or mass number of an atom _ Z X^ A is given by A=Z+N where, A= mass number, Z= atomic number and N= number of neutrons. For, ₉₂ U ²³⁵, A=235 and Z =92 N=A-Z=235-92=143
