What else can I help you with?
In the chemical shorthand 14c the fourteen represents the number of?
The 14 in 14C represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the carbon atom's nucleus. Carbon-14 (14C) is a radioactive isotope with 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
How do you get the number of neutron?
The isotope number and the atomic number can be used to calculate the number of neutrons. Consider carbon-14. The atomic number for carbon is 6 (i.e., the number of protons is 6). The isotope number of carbon-14 (i.e., 14 = protons + neutrons). Subtract the atomic number from the isotope number calculate the number of neutrons (8 for carbon-14).
How do you find the number of neutrons in an isotope?
Subtract the atomic number from the mass number. Example Carbon-12 an isotope with a mas number of 12. Carbon has an atomic number of 6 therefore carbon-12 has 6 neutrons.
Does carbon fourteen or nitrogen fourteen have more protons?
The nitrogen isotope has more protons, because it has a higher atomic number.
How many protons are there in the c-12 isotope how about the number of neutrons?
The carbon-12 isotope has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. This isotope is the most stable and abundant form of carbon.
What is an osotope?
Not sure about an 'Osotope' Isotope: A variation in the number of neutrons in the core of an atom of a given element is an isotope of that element. Carbon has six protons in the core of the atom. Carbon-12 has six neutrons in its core. Carbon-13 has seven neutrons. Carbon-13 is an isotope of Carbon.
Is carbon-14 an element or an isotope?
Carbon-14 is the Isotope of Carbon-12. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons, but the same number of protons.
A common isotope of carbon has a mass number of 13 The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is?
13. The mass number is always the total number of protons and neutrons.
In which way does one isotope of carbon differs from another?
The number of neutrons in it.
What is the mass number of a carbon isotope that has seven neutrons?
Carbon-7 is a theoretical isotope that does not actually exist. But if it DID exist, it would have one neutron, because the mass number of any isotope = protons + neutrons, and all carbon atoms have 6 protons. Therefore C-7 would have 6 protons and one neutron.
What is the atomic number of a carbon -14 isotope?
The atomic number of carbon is 6, which means it has 6 protons. Carbon-14 is an isotope of carbon, so it also has 6 protons. The difference between isotopes lies in the number of neutrons, and carbon-14 has 8 neutrons, making it a radioactive isotope used in carbon dating.
How many neutrons does carbon have?
It varies. The vast majority of carbon atoms have 6 neutrons, but there are isotopes with 7 and 8 neutrons.
