Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The only difference between the two nuclei is the number of protons, which is indicated by the 4 digit sequence (1238 vs 1233). Therefore, the number of neutrons should remain the same. Since there are 146 neutrons in ²³⁸U, there should be 146 neutrons in ²³³U as well. The only answer option that matches this is D.
