Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Carbon 12 is abundant in the environment, accounting for 98.89% of all carbon and is a stable isotope of carbon. Carbon 14 accounts for only about 1 trillionth of all of the carbon on Earth and is radioactive, with a half life of roughly 5700 years, which makes it good for use in dating fossils etc

Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are isotope of carbon?
because carbon-12 and carbon-14 both have different electrons while having the same proton and different neutron.
Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are called what of carbon?
Isotopes.
Carbon 12 and carbon 13 are different in the number of what?
Neutrons. The number of protons is ALWAYS the same for the same element. Different forms of the same element, called isotopes, differ in the number of neutrons only and will react chemically in exactly the same way.
What isotope of carbon 12 radioactive?
Carbon 12? The isotope number signifies that there are 12 neutrons AND protons. Carbons atomic number will tell you the number of protons, therefore u subtract the atomic number of Carbon from 12 to find out its neutron count.
What is the difference between carbon 13 and carbon 14?
Carbon 14 is different from other forms of carbon in 2 ways. It has more neutrons than any other isotope of carbon and is radioactive, emitting beta particles to decay into nitrogen-14.
How do the atoms of carbon 12 and carbon 14 differ?
The isotope carbon-12 has 6 neutrons; the isotope carbon-14 has 8 neutrons.
Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are isotope of carbon?
because carbon-12 and carbon-14 both have different electrons while having the same proton and different neutron.
When considering carbon-12 carbon-13 and carbon-14 what is it that makes all of these carbon?
They all have the same number of Protons-6. They differ in the number of neutrons present.
What causes the masses of 3 isotopes to differ for Carbon 12 13 and 14?
Neutrone number difference
What is the behavior of carbon 12 and carbon 14 in a sugar molecule?
carbon 14 is a isotop of carbon 12.
How do different isotopes of an element differ?
Two isotopes differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. For example, Carbon-14 has 8 neutrons differing from Carbon-12 which has 6 neutrons.
Which two substances do geologist use in radiocarbon dating?
Geologists use carbon-14, an isotope of carbon, and nitrogen-14 in radiocarbon dating. Carbon-14 is absorbed by all living organisms during their lifetime, and by measuring the ratio of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 in a sample, geologists can determine its age.
Does carbon-14 have more or fewer neutrons than carbon-12?
Carbon - 14 has two more electrons than carbon - 12.
One difference between carbon-12 and carbon-14 is that carbon-14 has?
C-14 has 8 neutrons, while C-12 has 6
True or false two isotopes of carbon are carbon-12 and carbon-14 theese isotopes differ from one another by two ELECTRONS?
False, different isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons.
What is more on earth abundant carbon 12 or carbon 14?
carbon 12 I think
Would there be any difference in reactivity between carbon 12 and 14?
Yes. Carbon 14 is more reactive then carbon 12.
