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.
Atomic number is 6 and the number of neutrons is 8
The Atomic number of Carbon is 6. The Atomic mass of Carbon depends on the isotope and may be from 8 to 22. Carbon 12 and Carbon 13 are the only stable isotopes of Carbon. Carbon 14 is the longest-lived unstable (radioactive) isotope. Only Carbon 12, 13 and 14 are found in nature.
6. Carbon's atomic number is 6, meaning it has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-14 has a mass number of 14, meaning it has extra neutrons, but no extra protons. So Carbon 14 still has 6 protons, and it has 8 (14-6) neutrons.
Carbon 14 has 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and (in the neutral atom) 6 electrons.
Carbon is a non metal element. Atomic mass number of it is 12.
Carbon is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 6.
Carbon is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 6.
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.
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).
The atomic number
Atomic number is 6 and the number of neutrons is 8
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).
Carbon's got an atomic number of 6. That means it has six protons. Carbon-14 means the atomic mass is 14. Atomic mass is Neutrons+Protons. 14-6=8
neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons, atomic number is the number is the amount of protons, atomic mass is the average mass of one mole of atoms. each particle wieghing one amu (atomic mass unit)
The isotope carbon 14: Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons = 6 Atomic mass: 14,003241
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.
