146
92
330
238
Show Solution
The Correct Option is
A
Solution and Explanation
The neutron count in an isotope is determined by: \[ \text{Neutrons} = \text{Mass number} - \text{Atomic number} \] For \(^{238}U\), with an atomic number of 92: \[ \text{Neutrons} = 238 - 92 = 146 \] Therefore, the answer is 146.
