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.
Carbon-14 has 6 protons. The number of protons in an element's nucleus determines its atomic number, and for carbon, this is always 6, regardless of the isotope. Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon, differing from the more common carbon-12 and carbon-13 isotopes by having 8 neutrons.
Carbon is a non metallic element. Mass number of it is 12.
Because each isotope of an element has a mass different from any other isotope of the same element, and the atomic mass of an element is an average, weighted by the proportion of each isotope, in the naturally occurring element.
An isotope of Neon. This isotope accounts for between a fifth and a quarter of the element.
its nucleus is unstable
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom. How does it differ from the element atom?
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
The atomic number of an isotope is always identical to every other isotope, otherwise, it would form a separate element.
It is called an isotope.
The antonym for isotope is non-isotope. An isotope refers to atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, whereas non-isotope would refer to atoms of the same element having the same number of neutrons.
The two main factors in determining the average atomic mass of an element are:the isotopic composition of the element (the fraction of each isotope)the atomic mass of each isotope
An element is a class of substances An atom is the smallest possible piece of an element. An isotope is an electrically charged atom.
