Answer:

92 protons, 92 electrons, 146 neutrons

Step-by-step explanation:

U-238 has 92 protons, 92 electrons, 146 neutrons.

The 238 is mass number talking about protons + neutrons. Uranium will always have 92 protons so the rest of the things are neutrons (146). Electrons will always equal protons if the element is neutral (no charge) and since no charge was given the numbers will match
