6. Carbon's atomic number is 6, meaning it has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-14 has a mass number of 14, meaning it has extra neutrons, but no extra protons. So Carbon 14 still has 6 protons, and it has 8 (14-6) neutrons.

∙ 8y agoCarbon-14 has 6 protons. All isotopes carbon atoms have 6 protons, while the number of neutrons varies. The 14 in Carbon-14 means that the atomic weight of the carbon atom is 14 Atomic Mass units (AMU). A proton has an atomic mass of 1 AMU and a neutron has a mass of 1 AMU. Because all carbon atoms have 6 protons, carbon-14 must have 8 neutrons.

Do carbon 12 and 14 have the same atomic mass?
No. They have different masses, but the same atomic number. Carbon-12 has a mass number of 12 and atomic number of 6, and carbon-14 has a mass number of 14 and atomic number of 6. The difference in mass number is due to different numbers of neutrons. Carbon-12 atoms have 6 neutrons and carbon-14 atoms have 8 neutrons.
Does 14C have as many electrons as neutrons?
The atomic number of carbon is 6 and it has six electrons. The mass number of it is 41 and therefore it has 8 neutrons.
What is the mass number of carbon with 5 neutrons?
11
How many neutrons in C-13 in isotope?
Carbon 13 has 7 neutrons.The atomic mass represents the total number of protons and electrons. Carbon atoms have 6 protons. Therefore, the atomic mass being 13, it has 7 neutrons.
How many protons are in an atom with atomic mass of 6 and mass number of 13?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. The mass number is equal to the total number of nucleons (both protons and neutrons). Therefore, there are 13 protons and neutrons, 6 of which are protons, leaving the remaining 7 to be neutrons. In short, 6 protons, 7 neutrons. You're referring to carbon-13, an uncommon isotope of carbon. Sharondenadel The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus.

How many neutrons does the mass number 12 have?
Carbon is the element with mass 12. It has 6 neutrons.
How many neutrons does carbon have if it has a Mass Number of 12?
The isotope carbon-12 has 6 neutrons.
How many neutrons does a carbon atom have with the mass number of 14 and an atomic number of 6 have?
Nitrogen is a non metal element. Atomic mass number of it is 14.
How many protons and neutrons does a carbon atom with a mass number of 12 have?
6 protons and 6 neutrons.
How many neutrons does a carbon isotope have with the mass number fourteen?
Nitrogen is a non metal element. Mass number of it is 14.
Do carbon 12 and 14 have the same atomic mass?
No. They have different masses, but the same atomic number. Carbon-12 has a mass number of 12 and atomic number of 6, and carbon-14 has a mass number of 14 and atomic number of 6. The difference in mass number is due to different numbers of neutrons. Carbon-12 atoms have 6 neutrons and carbon-14 atoms have 8 neutrons.
If the atomic number of an element is 6 and it's mass number is 14 how many neutrons are contained in the nucleus?
The number of neutrons is 8 (carbon-14).
How many neutrons are in carbon 13?
well the mass number is actually 12. because the ATOMIC MASS is 12.011. and to find the mass number you must round the atomic mass to the nearest WHOLE NUMBER. 12.011 rrounded to its nearest whole number would be 12. and to find the number of neutrons you must subtract the ATOMIC NUMBER (which is 6) from its mass number. 12-6=6. so carbon has 6 neutrons. carbon also has 6 protons, as well as 6 electrons.
Carbon has an atomic number of 6 how many protons and neutrons are in a nucleus of carbon 13?
12 - 6 = 6 neutrons; the number of neutrons in an isotope is always the mass number minus the atomic number.
How do you find neutrons in an element?
In order to find the number of neutrons in the atoms of an element, you must specify the isotope that you are interested in. Isotopes are specified according to their mass number. For example carbon-12 is the isotope of carbon that has a mass number of 12, and carbon-14 is the isotope of carbon that has a mass number of 14. All atoms of the same element, regardless of mass number, have the same number of protons, which is the element's atomic number. To determine the number of neutrons in an isotope, you subtract the atomic number from the mass number. For example, the atomic number of carbon is 6, which means that all carbon atoms contain 6 protons in their nuclei. So, to find the number of neutrons in a carbon-12 atom, subtract 6 from 12, and you get 6 neutrons in the atoms of carbon-12. To find the number of neutrons in a carbon-14 atom, subtract 6 from 14, and you get 8 neutrons in the atoms of carbon-14.
How many neutrons does an atom of carbon-14 contain?
The position of Carbon on the periodic table tells you how many protons carbon has in its nucleus. The number after it tells you the total number of protons and neutrons. You can take the number after it and subtract its number on the periodic table and get the number of neutrons. For example: Helium is the second element in the periodic table. Helium 3 has two protons and one neutron. Helium 4 has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Since it is element number 2 it has two protons. Now try that with carbon.
Does 14C have as many electrons as neutrons?
The atomic number of carbon is 6 and it has six electrons. The mass number of it is 41 and therefore it has 8 neutrons.
