Roughly, subtract the atomic number (6) from it's Atomic Mass (12.01) and round to the nearest integer to get the average number of neutrons in a carbon sample, in this case 6.
What else can I help you with?
How many neutrons are in carbon?
There are 6 neutrons in carbon. it depends on which isotope of carbon it is. C-12 has 6 neutrons C-13 has 7 neutrons C-14 has 8 neutrons
How many neutrons does the isotope carbon have?
Most carbon atoms have 6 neutrons, but a small fraction of them have 7 neutrons (to make carbon-13 isotope atoms) or 8 neutrons to make carbon-14 isotopes. Radioactive carbon atoms with other numbers of neutrons can be made in nuclear reactions.
How many neutrons in Carbon-12?
There are six neutrons.
How many more neutrons are in an isotope of carbon-14 than in a standard carbon atom?
There are 8 more neutrons in an isotope of carbon-14 than in a standard carbon atom. Carbon-14 has 8 neutrons, while a standard carbon atom (carbon-12) has 6 neutrons.
What elements has 2 isotopes 6 neutrons and 8 other neutrons?
The element with 6 neutrons and 8 other neutrons is carbon. Carbon-12 is the most common isotope of carbon, with 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-14 is another isotope of carbon, with 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
How many neutrons does the isotope carbon-14 have?
carbon 14 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 8 neutrons.
How many neutrons does carbon and nitrogen have?
Carbon has 6 neutrons, and Nitrogen has 7.
How many neutrons are in a carbon-12 atom?
Carbon 12 has 6 neutrons
When considering carbon-12 carbon-13 and carbon-14 what is it that makes all of these carbon?
Carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon, meaning they all have the same number of protons (6) but different numbers of neutrons. The isotopes differ in their atomic mass due to the varying number of neutrons, with carbon-12 having 6 neutrons, carbon-13 having 7 neutrons, and carbon-14 having 8 neutrons.
Which element has 6 protons and 6 neutrons?
carbon or boron
How many neutrons does C-13 contain?
Carbon 13 has 7 neutrons.
How many neutrons does the element carbon have?
Carbon 12 the most common contains 6 Carbon 13 contains 7 Carbon 14 contains 8
