Given A = 235, Z = 92

Atomic Number Z = number of protons = number of electrons = 92

Therefore, The neutral atom of will have 92 electrons.

(ii)  The number of protons = Z = 92

The number of neutrons = A - Z = 235 - 92 = 143.

(iii)  No. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons since their mass numbers are different.

(iv)  is the isotope of , so it has the same number of protons , i.e. 92.
