What is the atomic number for an abundant element with mass number of 12?

Carbon


What would be an isotope of carbon12?

The 12 in Carbon-12 designates the isotope which has an atomic mass of 12. This is the most abundant isotope of carbon. Carbon has an atomic number of 6, therefore it has 6 protons. Carbon 12, therefore has 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 is another isotope of carbon, still having 6 protons, but has 8 neutrons, so it has an atomic mass of (6 + 8 = 14). See related link for more information on carbon isotopes.


What is pattern in abundant numbers?

Every sixth number for 12 and more will be an abundant number


What conclusions can be drawn about the existence of carbon-12 Carbon-13 and carbon -14?

Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are stable. The fact that carbon-14 is unstable, with a relatively short half-life (very short compared to the age of the Solar System) means that it must needs have been produced more recently than the creation of the Solar System.


The greatest store of planetary carbon is the atmosphere?

As much as two-thirds of Earth's carbon may be hidden in the inner core, making it the planet's largest carbon reservoir.Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2014-12-earth-carbon-hidden-planet-core.html


What is the most available form of carbon for life?

If you mean which isotope, then carbon-12 is the most abundant. If you mean where does the carbon come from, then it's atmospheric carbon dioxide for plants, and food for animals.


How do carbon 12 and carbon 14 differ?

Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Carbon 12 is abundant in the environment, accounting for 98.89% of all carbon and is a stable isotope of carbon. Carbon 14 accounts for only about 1 trillionth of all of the carbon on Earth and is radioactive, with a half life of roughly 5700 years, which makes it good for use in dating fossils etc


Does carbon-14 have more or fewer neutrons than carbon-12?

Carbon - 14 has two more electrons than carbon - 12.


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 is the mass number of the most common isotope of carbon?

As the atomic number of nitrogen is 7, the most abundant isotope of this atmospheric gas must have 7 neutrons (14.007 - 7 = about 7), and this will make nitrogen-14 that isotope that is most abundant.


What is more reactive carbon 12 or carbon 14?

Carbon-14 because it has 2 more neutrons.


Is 12 abundant perfect or deficient?

it is abundant
