Is carbon 12 more reactive than carbon 14?

Carbon with a mass of 14 is more reactive. It is an isotope. but i don't know exactly why it is more reactive..


What is more reactive carbon 12 or carbon 14?

Carbon-14 because it has 2 more neutrons.


Would there be any difference in reactivity between carbon 12 and 14?

Yes. Carbon 14 is more reactive then carbon 12.


Would a metal in group 13 be more or less reactive than a metal in group 12?

Zn is more reactive than Ga, Cd is more reactive than In; but Tl is more reactive than Hg.


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

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


Why group 12 is more reactive?

The elements from the group 12 are not the most reactive chemical elements.


Are there more carbon atoms in 48g of CO2 than in 12 grams of diamond?

There are more carbon atoms in 48 grams of CO2 than in 12 grams of diamond


How does carbon -12 compare to carbon -13?

Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are isotopes of carbon (different atoms of the same element with same number of protons but different number of neutrons). Carbon-13 has 7 neutrons while carbon-12 have 6 neutrons. Both have 6 protons and 6 electrons.

Carbon with a mass number of 14?

There are three isotopes of carbon with mass numbers 12 (which is more than 99% of existing carbon), 13, and 14 (which is radioactive).


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.


12C has one fewer proton than 13C?

Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are atoms of carbon, different isotopes of the element. Carbon owes its chemical identity, indeed, its elemental identity, to the number of protons in its nucleus. There are 6 of them. No more, no less. Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Carbon 14 has fewer protons than neutrons.
