<br>Additional information used.
<br>
<br>Mass of proton : 1,6726 x 10^(-27) kg
<br>Mass of neutron: 1,6749 x 10^(-27) kg
<br>Mass of electron: 0,00091x10^(-27) kg
<br>
<br>
<br>Total number of protons in the 235U92 is -> 92
<br>
<br>So, that makes the number of neutrons = 143
<br>
<br>So, the total mass of nucleus is,
<br>
<br>[92 x 1,6726 x 10^(-27) kg] ...
