Any atom has only one nucleus in it. The difference is always in the number of nucleons. Nucleons are the fundamental particles of an atom that constitute the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are the primary nucleons. The number of protons is always different for different elements. For e.g., the number of protons in a carbon atom is 6

∙ 7y agoIt depends on which isotope. In the most common isotope, there are 12, but in about 1% of carbon atoms there are 13, and in a tiny, tiny fraction of a percent there are 14. Other numbers are possible, but effectively do not exist in nature because they decay almost immediately and can therefore only exist as a transient part of a decay chain of other radioactive atoms.

How many nucleons are in carbon 14?
There are 14, six protons and 8 neutrons.
How many nucleons are in beryllium?
Beryllium-9 has 9 nucleons.
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 proton and neutrons in C-12?
Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. The amount of neutrons is exactly the same as the amount of protons.
Which subatomic particles can be classified as nucleons?
Protons and neutrons are nucleons.
How many nucleons are in carbon 14?
There are 14, six protons and 8 neutrons.
What species contains only 12 nucleons in the nucleus?
the Atomic Mass is made of protons and neutrons. When these particles are together, they are known as nucleons. carbon-12 contains 12 nucleons.
How many nucleons are present in an element?
There are A + Z nucleons in an element
How many nucleons are in beryllium?
Beryllium-9 has 9 nucleons.
How many nucleons are in the most common uranium isotope?
238 nucleons in 238U.
What does the '238' in uranium 238 and the '14' in carbon 14 mean?
They represent the number of nucleons.
How many nucleons contain boron-11?
The "11" refers, precisely, to the number of nucleons.
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 proton and neutrons in C-12?
Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. The amount of neutrons is exactly the same as the amount of protons.
Which subatomic particles can be classified as nucleons?
Protons and neutrons are nucleons.
What does the nucleons carry in atom?
the nucleons contain neutrons and protons in it
What carbon isotope has 6 electrons 6 protons and 7 neutrons?
Nucleons are the particles that make up the nucleus of an atom. That means protons and neutrons. The number of nucleons here would be 12 because the 6 protons and 6 neutrons add up to 12 nucleons.
