Which has greatest number of neutrons carbon13 and carbon14 or nitrogen14?
C-13 has an atomic number of 6 and an atomic mass of 13, therefore it has 13-6 neutrons = 7. C-14 therefore has 8 neutrons. N-14 has an atomic mass of 14 and an atomic number of 7, so its number of neutrons is 7. 8>7, so Carbon 14 has the largest number of neutrons.
Does the carbon14 have more protons neutrons or electrons than carbon12?
It has the same number of protons and electrons, but two more neutrons.
What happens to the amount of nitrogen14 as the carbon14 decays?
Remains the same
How do you find the atomic weight on the periodic table?
On many Periodic Tables, the small number directly below the chemical symbol is the atomic mass. On mine, there is a small 12.011 under the large C for carbon. While most carbon is 12, there are naturally occurring carbon13 and carbon14, so this is an average mass of all naturally occurring isotopes, with the majority of isotopes being carbon12
An artifact is found that some are claiming is 30000 years old 3.1 percent of the original carbon14 is present The halflife of carbon14 is 5730 year?
Yes, but the dating is only off a little (500 years or so).
What Limitations are there of using carbon14 to date rocks?
The main limitations of using Carbon14 dating to find the age of something that is carbon base are firstly the possibility that carbon may be absorbed by some things making it more difficult to get an absolutely accurate age and secondly, with Carbon14 only having a half life of 5,568 years the maximum theoretical limit for detection is 100,000 years.
What do scientists use to determine a fossil's relative age?
Carbon14 dating (isotopic dating)
What percent of carbon14 is left after 5 half-lives?
3.125% would be left over.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in carbon14?
7 protons, 7 neutrons and 7 electrons
Can mass be a number?
yes mass can be a number
In order to calculate the number of neutrons you must subtract the from the?
Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number
How do you find the mass number of an element?
The formula for mass number is number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number. Mass number can also be referred to as nucleon number.
