U^235Number of protons = 92 pNumber of electrons = 92 eNumber of neutrons = 235 – 92 = 143n
U^238Number of protons = 92pNumber of electrons = 92eNumber of neutrons = 238 – 92 = 146n
Electron configuration of U atom U = 92 U = [Rn] 5f^6 6d^0 7s^0 U = [Rn] 5f^36d^17s^2, 7s is completely filled and others are less than half filled. 
(_92^238)U  Decays to (_90^234)ThIt loses 2 protons, 2 electrons and loses 2 neutrons Th = [Rn] 6d^2 7s^2 There is no electron in 5f subshell and 6d contains 2e^-, 7s completely filled

What is the difference between unconfined aquifers and confined aquifers?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Unconfined aquifers are those into which water seeps from the ground surface directly above the aquifer. Confined aquifers are those in which an impermeable dirt/rock layer exists that prevents water from seeping into the aquifer from the ground surface located directly above.
