Neutrons. The number of protons is ALWAYS the same for the same element. Different forms of the same element, called isotopes, differ in the number of neutrons only and will react chemically in exactly the same way.

Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are isotope of carbon?
because carbon-12 and carbon-14 both have different electrons while having the same proton and different neutron.
How does carbon -12 compare to carbon -13?
Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are isotopes of carbon (different atoms of the same element with same number of protons but different number of neutrons). Carbon-13 has 7 neutrons while carbon-12 have 6 neutrons. Both have 6 protons and 6 electrons.
What is the difference between carbon 13 and carbon 14?
Carbon 14 is different from other forms of carbon in 2 ways. It has more neutrons than any other isotope of carbon and is radioactive, emitting beta particles to decay into nitrogen-14.
What isotope of carbon 12 radioactive?
Carbon 12? The isotope number signifies that there are 12 neutrons AND protons. Carbons atomic number will tell you the number of protons, therefore u subtract the atomic number of Carbon from 12 to find out its neutron count.
Is the number of carbon 14 isotopes much greater than the number of carbon 12 isotopesin a normal sample of carbon?
No. The only mass numbers of carbon isotopes that occur naturally are 12 and 13, and the number of atoms with mass number 12 is much greater than the number of atoms with mass number 13 in any carbon from natural sources. Carbon-14 exists at all only in carbon including man-made isotopes.
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.
Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are isotope of carbon?
because carbon-12 and carbon-14 both have different electrons while having the same proton and different neutron.
What is the same and different about the structures of carbon atoms when all carbon atoms have atomic number 6 but some have mass number 12 and others have 14 as the mass number?
Carbon 12 is abundant and stable. Carbon 14 is rare and radioactive Carbon 14 has ever so slightly different chemical properties than Carbon 12 but not so much as anyone but a really particular chemist would notice.
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.
How are the isotope carbon-12 and carbon-14 different from ech other?
The number of neutrons (and the fact that C14 is radioactive).
What are carbon-12 carbon-13 and carbon-14 carbon atoms with different numbers of electrons different elements different isotopes of the same element?
Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are both isotopes of carbon, so they cannot have different numbers of protons. The numbers of protons determines the element's identity. Isotopes of atoms are formed by atoms that have differing numbers of neutrons. Carbon-12 will have 6 protons and 6 neutrons and Carbon-14 will have 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
How does carbon -12 compare to carbon -13?
Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are isotopes of carbon (different atoms of the same element with same number of protons but different number of neutrons). Carbon-13 has 7 neutrons while carbon-12 have 6 neutrons. Both have 6 protons and 6 electrons.
What is the assigned atomic mass of carbon-12?
The atomic number of any carbon isotope is 6, the number of protons in the nucleus of any carbon atom, irrespective of its mass number.
What is the number of protons in carbon-12?
There are 6 protons in carbon-12 .
What is the atomic mass of carbon 12?
Carbon-12 has a mass number of 12.
Atomic mass and number for carbon?
atomic mass of carbon=12 atomic number of carbon=6
How many protons are there in carbon 12?
There are six (6) protons in Carbon-12. The 12 refers to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. There are 6 of each in carbon-12.
