Carbon-12 (98.93%), Carbon-13 (1.07%), and Carbon-14 (1 PPT) all occur naturally. However, Carbon-14 is radioactive (halflife 5,730±40 years) and is being produced only high in the atmosphere by bombardment of nitrogen gas by cosmic rays.

The textbook I have from 1959 lists 6: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. However there are unquestionably many more that have been created in accelerators, having barely measurable halflives.

What are atoms with the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons called?

Isotopes have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Different isotopes of a single element are on the same position on the periodic table of elements. The existence of isotopes was first suggested in 1913 by a radiochemist named Frederick Soddy.

The following atoms are all variations of the element carbon 12C 13C 14C what are these variations called isotopes. Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element.


Two isotopes of the element rubidium differ in their number of protons?

no isotopes of a particular chemical element all have the same number of protons


Does isotopes only occur on heavier element?

No - the lightest element Hydrogen has three known isotopes


True or false two isotopes of carbon are carbon-12 and carbon-14 theese isotopes differ from one another by two ELECTRONS?

False, different isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons.


Do All carbon atoms have exactly 6 protons?

The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom defines the element. An atom which as 6 protons will be Carbon. The atomic weight of an element depends upon not only the proton but also the neutrons in the nucleus. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. There are three isotopes of carbon: carbon 12 (with 6 neutrons) and carbon 13 (with 7 neutrons) are stable, and carbon 14 (with 8 neutrons) is slightly radioactive and decays by emitting neutrons to carbon 12.


Is this a stable element Carbon atomic number 6?

It really isn't elements that are stable or unstable, but isotopes. Carbon has both stable and unstable isotopes.


What are three isotopes and isobars of carbon?

isotopes of carbon are atomic no. 6 mass 12 , atomic no.6 mass 13 , atomic no. 6 mass 14


How do different isotopes of an element differ?

Two isotopes differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. For example, Carbon-14 has 8 neutrons differing from Carbon-12 which has 6 neutrons.


Atom of same element with different number of neutrons?

Isotopes have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Carbon has several isotopes: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14, etc. They all have 6 protons but their mass and physical properties change due to the number of neutron.


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.
