Correct

All isotopes of uranium have 92 protons because an element is identified by the number of protons (i.e., its atomic number). The mass number, which is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons, can vary for all elements because the number of neutrons can vary, and these are referred to as isotopes of an element.

Part B

Enter its symbol in the form AZX.

Express your answer as an isotope.??????

Explanation / Answer

Form AZX

A represents mass number (protons + neutrons)

Z represents atomic number

X represents the element

For Uranium-235

Mass number = A = 235

Atomic number = Z = 92

X = symbol for uranium = U

Symbol is    23592U
