What else can I help you with?
Is an alpha particle identical to the nucleus of a carbon atom?
No, it is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.
What is larger a carbon atom or nucleus?
The nucleus of a carbon atom is much smaller than the entire carbon atom itself. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons that account for the majority of the atom's mass, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in a relatively large atomic cloud.
Which element is an atom with six protons in the nucleus?
An atom with six protons in the nucleus is a carbon element.
What subatomic particle does every atom of carbon have in common?
Each carbon atom (atom number 6) has 6 protons (in nucleus) and 6 electrons (orbited around), the number of neutrons (also in nucleus) may vary from 6 or (less common) 7 or (rarely) 8.
What is 112 the mass of a carbon atom?
A carbon 12 atom has a mass defect of .098931 u. This number, the mass defect, represents the binding energy of the nucleus of the nucleus of the atom, and how energy has to be used to split this nucleus.
How many positive charges does an atom of carbon have in it' nucleus?
Twelve. Each proton has one positive charge.
What is the difference in carbon that has an atomic mass of 12 and one that has an atomic mass of 14?
A carbon atom with a mass of 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus. This configuration is stable. A carbon atom with a mass of 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus, making it somewhat heavier. This configuration is unstable and the nucleus will eventually emit an electron, converting the carbon atom into a nitrogen atom with 7 protons and 7 neutrons in the nucleus.
How many protons are in the nucleus of the carbon atom?
Its electrons and protons are the same. just determine its electrons form its atomic number
If 2 protons are removed from an oxygen nucleus?
You will have an unstable carbon atom. The result will be carbon
How many neutrons are in the nucleus of a carbon-13 atom?
7
How many neutrons are in a nucleus of a carbon -13 atom?
7
Is an atom a oxygen atom or carbon atom?
An atom can be either an oxygen atom or a carbon atom. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter and can vary in types based on the number of protons in their nucleus. Oxygen atoms have 8 protons, while carbon atoms have 6 protons.
