Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 56E
The two most common isotopes of uranium are 235U and 238U.
- Compare the number of protons, the number of electrons, and the number of neutrons in atoms of these two isotopes.
- Using the periodic table in the front- inside cover, write the electron configuration for a U atom.
- Compare your answer to part (b) to the electron configuration given in Figure 6.30. How can you explain any differences between these two electron configurations?
- 238U undergoes radioactive decay to 234Th. How many protons, electrons, and neutrons are gained or lost by the 238U atom during this process?
- Examine the electron configuration for Th in Figure 6.31 . Are you surprised by what you find? Explain
