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.
Nitrogen14, has 7 protons, 7 electrons and 7 neutrons.
Scientists know that the isotopes Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are both forms of carbon, but they differ in the number of neutrons they contain. Carbon-12 is the most common form of carbon and is stable, while Carbon-14 is radioactive and is used in radiocarbon dating to determine the age of organic materials.
The atomic number of an element represents the number of protons, so carbon has 6 protons. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, so for a carbon isotope with a mass number of 14, it will have 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
There are 6 neutrons.
14 neutrons
there are 7 neutrons, 7 protons, and....----electrons
7 protons, 7 neutrons and 7 electrons
Carbon-14 contains more neutrons compared to carbon-12. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. The number of protons and electrons in both carbon isotopes remains the same, at 6 each.
Carbon-14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. The mass of one neutron is approximately 1.0086649 atomic mass units (u). Therefore, the total mass of neutrons in 7 mg of Carbon-14 can be calculated by multiplying the number of neutrons (8) by the mass of one neutron to get approximately 8.0693192 mg.
Nitrogen14, has 7 protons, 7 electrons and 7 neutrons.
A radioactive isotope is a form of an element that is unstable and eventually decays into a different element. For example, most Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, and is stable. This is called Carbon12.Carbon14 with 6 protons and 8 neutrons, is unstable and decays by releasing a beta particle from its nucleus to become a stable isotope, Nitrogen14. which has 7 protons and 7 neutrons.That refers to an isotope that is unstable - the atoms will decay after a while.
Cosmic rays bombard the upper atmosphere (see Carbon 14 wiki): "Carbon-14 is produced in the upper layers of the troposphere and the stratosphere by thermal neutrons absorbed by nitrogen atoms. When cosmic rays enter the atmosphere, they undergo various transformations, including the production of neutrons. The resulting neutrons (1n) participate in the following reaction: : 1n + 14N → 14C + 1H"
As an example, take Americium 241 - 241 is the atomic weight. It is Atomic number 95 in the periodic table and so there are 95 protons. There are thus 241 -95 = 146 neutrons. That principle applies to all the elements.
Scientists know that the isotopes Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are both forms of carbon, but they differ in the number of neutrons they contain. Carbon-12 is the most common form of carbon and is stable, while Carbon-14 is radioactive and is used in radiocarbon dating to determine the age of organic materials.
electrons are the lightest then protons then neutrons
It is the part of the atom with the greatest mass
Protons and neutrons contribute to the majority of an atom's mass, as they are located in the nucleus and have roughly the same mass. Electrons, which orbit the nucleus, have a much smaller mass compared to protons and neutrons.
