The difference between uranium-238 and uranium-235. When we dig uranium out of the ground, 99.27% of it is uranium-238, which has 92 protons and 146 neutrons.

Uranium-238 (U-238) is the most common form of uranium found in nature, making up about 99.27% of natural uranium. Uranium-235 (U-235) is much rarer, making up only about 0.72% of natural uranium ...

The Difference Between Uranium-238 and Uranium-235. When we dig uranium out of the ground, 99.27% of it is uranium-238, which has 92 protons and 146 neutrons.

Because uranium-235 is a little lighter than uranium-238, it moves outward more slowly when spun, and the two isotopes separate. It’s sort of like how a salad spinner separates water from lettuce.
