∙ 14y agoOrdinary carbon is C12, and has 6 electrons (1S2,1P4), if it has 6 electrons then it must have 6 protons to balance the charge. For mas we can assume the electrons to be negligable so if we have 6 protons then to get to C12 we must have 6 neutrons.
Carbon 14 has no extra protons or electrons so the difference must be made up by more neutrons, so C14 will have 8 neutrons and 6 protons and 6 electrons.
Carbon 14 is raidoactive and decays over time, and carbon 13 is used to "carbon date" items to discern how old they are.

How many neutrons does carbon-17 have?
11 Carbon has atomic(proton) number 6. i.e it has 6 protons. There are three naturally occurring isotopes for carbon. They are C12 c13 and c14. among them c14 is radioactive. c12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. c13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons. c14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Similarly, c17 has 6 protons and 11 neutrons.
What is it called when a atom with the same number of proton but different number of neutron?
Isotopes have the same numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. One of the most common examples is carbon: C12 is the standard carbon atom, but C13 and C14, although still carbon atoms, have one or two extra neutrons.
Is carbon stable?
Carbon monoxide is quite stable, and is formed by the combustion of carbon in inadequate supply of oxygen.
Does your body contain more neutrons than protons?
Short Answer:There are more protons than neutrons in the human body.This is primarily because we are mostly water and H2O is mostly hydrogen. Hydrogen is a single proton and is 25% of all the atoms in the body.Of the six elements that make up 99% of the mass of the human body (oxygen 65%, carbon 18%, hydrogen 10%, nitrogen 3%, calcium 1.4%, phosphorous 1.1%), all but hydrogen and phosphorous have an equal number protons and neutrons in the dominant isotope and hydrogen, be 25% of all atoms, overwhelms the balance giving more protons than neutrons.Long Answer:The human body (and other living things) contains a much greater number of protons than neutrons. Consider the data from the "related links" below which describe the elemental composition of the human body. This data allows one to calculate the number of neutrons and protons for each element and determine that there are about 4.15*10^27 protons more than the number of neutrons.Perform the following calculations for each of the elements on the list: determine the difference between number of neutrons and protons in the atomic nucleus and call it N-P ('N' minus 'P') for each element; divide the mass in grams of the element in the human body by the atomic mass of the element to get the moles of the element in the human body; multiply the moles by Avagadro's constant (~6.022*10^23) to get the number of atoms; multiply the number of atoms with N-P to get the net neutrons for the element.The list at the cited webpage is conveniently in order of most abundant to least abundant. If we look at only the first fifteen elements at the ones that have N-P not equal to zero we find that the net neutrons is on the order of -(10^27). This is due to the fact that Hydrogen has 1 proton and 0 neutrons (N-P = -1), and with a mass contribution of 7 kilograms to the human body, adds nearly 7000 moles of protons. Note, I'm ignoring the rest of the elements on the list after Cadmiun (the fifteenth with N-P != 0) since the mass contribution after Cadmium is less than 0.050 grams, none of the remaining elements should be able to contribute enough neutrons to increase the net neutrons into positive range. (The trend is much more clear if you perform the calculations and list the elements.)Additionally, although Carbon makes up ~16 kilograms of the body, the amount of isotopic carbon is only about 1% of that value at most, so the contribution from isotopic carbon would be only about 160 grams, which if it were all C14, would only add 1.38*10^25 neutrons.

How many neutrons does carbon-17 have?
11 Carbon has atomic(proton) number 6. i.e it has 6 protons. There are three naturally occurring isotopes for carbon. They are C12 c13 and c14. among them c14 is radioactive. c12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. c13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons. c14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Similarly, c17 has 6 protons and 11 neutrons.
What are atoms of the same number of protons but different number of neutrons classified as?
isotopes. ex- c14,c12 are isotopes .proton same 6. neutrons are 8,6 respectively
What is the difference between c 12 and c 14?
C12 and C14 are isotopes of the Element Carbon. C12 is the most abundant of all which is 99% of all the Carbon on earth while C14 is only 0.0000000001% (trace amount). C12 has a Atomic Number of 12. It has 6 Protons and 6 Neutrons. C14 has a Atomic Number of 14. It has 6 Protons and 8 Neutrons. C14 is radioactive in nature. It is used for carbon dating.
What is the number of neutrons in one atom of carbon?
In Carbon-12, the most abundant form of Carbon, there are 6 Neutrons, 6 Protons and 6 Electrons. In Carbon-14, the radioactive isotope of Carbon used in Carbon Dating, has 6 Protons, 8 Neutrons and 6 Electrons.
Why do carbon atoms have six elements?
The number above Carbon, 6, indicates that the element has 6 protons. It is also assumed that the Carbon atom is neutral (in a neutral atom, there are the same number of electrons as protons), so there will be 6 electrons as well. There will also be 6 neutrons unless otherwise specified that the atom is an isotope (has a different number of neutrons). Also, the number under the Carbon symbol indicates the average mass number, or the average sum of neutrons and protons. since it is about 12, you can just subtract 6 protons to get 6 neutrons.
What is C14 in chemistry?
It's a very rare isotope of Carbon that contains 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
What is the difference between carbon-12 and carbon-14?
C 14 and C 12 are both isotopes of carbon. Since they are the same element, both of these isotopes have the same number of neutrons. However, C 12 has 6 neutrons and is stable whereas C 14 has 8 neutrons and is radioactive.
What are carbon-12 carbon-13 and carbon-14 carbon atoms with different numbers of electrons different elements different isotopes of the same element?
Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are both isotopes of carbon, so they cannot have different numbers of protons. The numbers of protons determines the element's identity. Isotopes of atoms are formed by atoms that have differing numbers of neutrons. Carbon-12 will have 6 protons and 6 neutrons and Carbon-14 will have 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
What is it called when a atom with the same number of proton but different number of neutron?
Isotopes have the same numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. One of the most common examples is carbon: C12 is the standard carbon atom, but C13 and C14, although still carbon atoms, have one or two extra neutrons.
How are the isotope carbon-12 and carbon-14 different from ech other?
The number of neutrons (and the fact that C14 is radioactive).
Nucleus of carbon atom?
Nucleus of the standard isotope of carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 neutrons (carbon 12). Other Isotopes of carbon atoms are also possible, such as C14, which has 8 neutrons, and decays by beta particle emission into nitrogen.
What is it called when the atoms only differ in the number of protons?
It is called an Isotope.... C12, C13, C14 is a classical example
