C-14
The number 14 is the total number of protons and neutrons.
Carbon is #6 in the Periodic Table because it has 6 protons .
14 - 6 = 8 neutrons.

In the chemical shorthand 14c the fourteen represents the number of?
The number of protons plus the number of nutrons
How much to 14C breasts weigh?
Probably about 3 pounds each
What is a radiometric clock?
Radiometric clocks are naturally occurring radioisotopes, such as 14C, with known half-lives, that are used to date organic materials.
The half life of carbon 14 is?
The half-life of carbon-14 is about 5730 years. (That's 5,730 ±40 years, if more accuracy is desired.) A link can be found below for more information about radiocarbon, which is what we commonly call carbon-14.
What is the coefficient of thermal expansion of gasoline?
The clearest answer I've heard to date is that the coefficient is 0.00046 per degree Fahrenheit. That is to say that for every degree rise in temperature your volume will go up that amount. The math works like this, say you have a temperature rise from 60 degrees f to 84 f over the course of a day and a tank with 100 gallons of diesel in it. Multiply the coefficient by the number of degrees temp rise (24 x 0.00046=0.01104) then multiply that answer by the total number of gallons you started with to get the number of gallons increase in the tank when the diesel warmed up to 84 degrees (0.01104 x 100=1.104 gal.) Remember the liquid itself has to rise in temperature and it may take a long time to do but this is a handy way to figure the amount of room to leave in a tank for expansion.
In the chemical shorthand 14c the fourteen represents the number of?
The number of protons plus the number of nutrons
Does radiosotope 14c and 12c have the same number of protons?
Yes of course
What is the arrangement of subatomic particles in 14C?
The isotope 14C has in the nucleus 6 protons and 8 neutrons. The electron configuration is [He]2s22p2.
Are protons the number on top or the bottom?
For a given isotope of an element, the "top number" (e.g. 14C or carbon-14) is the atomic mass number, the total of neutrons and protons. The bottom number, if displayed, is the atomic number (e.g. 6C all isotopes of carbon have 6 protons). To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the isotopes atomic mass number. Here, 14C will have 8 neutrons, and the result is that it is an unstable radioactive isotope. Many stable elements, however, have many more neutrons than protons.
Which number for an isotope is the neutron number?
The number of neutrons is never directly displayed.For a given isotope of an element, the "top number" (e.g. 14C or carbon-14) is the atomic mass number, the total of neutrons and protons. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the isotopes atomic mass number. Here, 14C will have 8 neutrons.
Does carbon have the same number of protons neutrons and electrons?
Carbon has 6 protons an 6 electrons (in a neutral state). The number of neutrons is: - for 12C: 6 neutrons - for 13C: 7 neutrons - for 14C: 8 neutrons For artificila isotopes: number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
What number is added to an element to specify its isotope?
a superscript designating the number of nucleons is placed before the chemical symbol. Nucleons are either protons or neutrons. Example: Carbon (C) has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-14 has 2 extra neutrons, and is designated 14C
How many protons does carbon 12 have?
If the element in question is carbon, it has 6 protons, whether it's 12C, 13C, 14C, or any of its other 12 known isotopes.
What is the atomic number for the element carbon?
The number of protons and neutrons (Mass Number) is 12
Which one of the following elements is used to measure the data of material that once was alive?
The most common element used is the element Carbon. More precisely, Carbon 14 or simply 14C, an isotope of Carbon (same number of protons but two more neutrons than plain old 12C, the most common variety of carbon) is used. All living organism have 14C and the amount of 14C in a living organism is constant throughout it's life. However, as the creature dies, the 14C level drops. The rate of drop is know precisely. Therefore, by measuring how much 14C is in the remains, the time the organism died can be known (usually to within decades).
What is the symbol for the radioactive isotope known as Carbon 14?
It's usually posted as 14C and indicates the isotope asked about.
What is 14c-5c for algebra?
It is: 14c-5c = 9c
