An atom of carbon-14 contains how many protons?
All carbon atoms have 6 protons, which is why carbon's atomic number is 6. All neutral carbon atoms have 6 electrons. The number of neutrons in a carbon-14 atom is its mass number minus its atomic number, 14 - 6 = 8 neutrons.
What is the name of hydro carbon chain which has 14 carbon?
tetradec-
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.
Atomic number equals protons?
The atomic number is defined as the number of protons in an atom. The number of electrons will always be the same if the atom is neutral- if the atom is not neutral we usually call it an ion. The number of neutrons can vary, and make what are called isotopes. For example, carbon has atomic number 6, meaning every carbon atom has 6 protons. Every neutral carbon atom has 6 electrons. Carbon can have several isotopes, the most common of which is carbon-12 and carbon-14. Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, and carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Answer: atomic no. of an element= no. of protons = no. of electrons while no. of neutrons = mass no. - no. of protons
What is the nuclear symbol and the hyphen notation for a carbon isotope with a mass number of 14 and atomic number of 6?
Note that since all carbon isotopes have an atomic number of 6, it is not necessary to state the atomic number; the fact that it is carbon means that it has the atomic number 6. So the isotope with a mass number of 14 is called carbon 14. As a symbol, it is C with a superscript 14 (which I am not able to type).
What does the number after the element represent eg carbon-14?
It represents the mass number of that particular isotope.
What is the atomic number of carbon 14?
Carbon is a non metal element. Atomic mass number of it is 12.
What is the isotopic notation represents an atom of carbon-14?
6C 8
How do you get the number of neutron?
The isotope number and the atomic number can be used to calculate the number of neutrons. Consider carbon-14. The atomic number for carbon is 6 (i.e., the number of protons is 6). The isotope number of carbon-14 (i.e., 14 = protons + neutrons). Subtract the atomic number from the isotope number calculate the number of neutrons (8 for carbon-14).
An atom of carbon-14 contains how many protons?
All carbon atoms have 6 protons, which is why carbon's atomic number is 6. All neutral carbon atoms have 6 electrons. The number of neutrons in a carbon-14 atom is its mass number minus its atomic number, 14 - 6 = 8 neutrons.
What is the number for the roman numeral XIV?
It represents the number 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.
Who isotope of carbon has the largest mass number?
Carbon-14.
What is mass number of carbon?
14
What is -20x plus 14?
It's a binomial algebraic expression that represents a number. The number that it represents completely depends on what number 'x' is.
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.
What is the name of hydro carbon chain which has 14 carbon?
tetradec-
