If you have an isotope of the element carbon that has the mass number of 14 what other information would help you determine the number of neutron?

Mass number is simple the #(number) of protons plus # of neutrons.
Looking at the Periodic Table we can see that carbon contains 6 protons.
Therefor we simple subtract 6 from 14, that is, 14 - 6 = 8
There are 8 neutrons in this isotope.

What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
an isotope of an element
Which particles are in the nuleus of an atom?
Inside of an atom there are protons and neutrons. The protons determine the element whereas the neutron can determine if it is an isotope of that element. Of course there are many smaller particles inside of protons and neutrons like quarks and gluons and ... strings.
What is make an atom isotope?
It is the neutron that makes changes in atomic nuclei to change them from one isotope to another. For any given element, that element will have a fixed number of protons. It is, after all, the number of protons that determine the elemental identity. But the number of neutrons in a given element can vary, and we use the term isotope to talk about which particular atom we're investigating. That is, we apply the term isotope to speak to an atom of a given element with a certain number of neutrons in its nucleus.
Deuterium is an element with one proton and one neutron Deuterium is called a an?
An isotope of Hydrogen Apex:)
What do you call an atom after we add a neutron?
It's still an atom. It would be a different isotope of the same element.
What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
an isotope of an element
What is the only particle that can change in number for an isotope?
The Neutron- An element with the same number of protons and electrons, but with a different number of neutrons per atom than the original element is called an "isotope". An isotope will have, for all intensive purposes, about the same chemical and physical properties as the original element. Isotopes are written as the element, followed by a dash, then the number of neutrons in one atom of that isotope (Carbon-13 is an isotope of carbon with 13 neutrons per atom)
What the process by which an atom bombarded by a neutron becomes another isotope of the same element?
Neutron Capture.
What subatomic particle determines if an element is an isotope or not?
The neutron; the proton determines the element of the atom, but different atoms of the same element can have different atomic masses, due to the different number of neutrons of the atoms. Atoms of same element having same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called Isotopes. Thus, neutron determines the isotope of an atom.

What element has an mass number of 2 and 1 neutron?
This is the isotope of hydrogen - deuterium.
What element has 1 neutron and mass number of 2?
This is the isotope of hydrogen - deuterium.
What element has 1 proton 1 neutron and 1 electron?
The element is hydrogen and the isotope is tritium (1H3)
What is the element which do not posses neutron in its nucleus?
There is an isotope of hydrogen called 'protium', which only has 1 proton and 1 electron, with no neutron.
How do you find the number of neutrons an isotope has?
Neutron is the difference btw the atomic no and the mass no of an element.
What is the neutron on zirconium?
Each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons: Atomic mass of the isotope - Atomic number = Number of neutrons
