What is the atomic number for an abundant element with mass number of 12?

The element with a mass number of 12 is carbon. Carbon has an atomic number of 6.


How does carbon -12 compare to carbon -13?

Carbon-12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while carbon-13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons. Carbon-12 is a stable and abundant isotope, making up about 98.9% of natural carbon, while carbon-13 is a stable isotope but less abundant, making up about 1.1% of natural carbon.


What is the atomic number for an abundant element with mass number 12?

The element with mass number 12 is carbon. The atomic number for carbon is 6.


What is pattern in abundant numbers?

Every sixth number for 12 and more will be an abundant number


What would be an isotope of carbon12?

The 12 in Carbon-12 designates the isotope which has an atomic mass of 12. This is the most abundant isotope of carbon. Carbon has an atomic number of 6, therefore it has 6 protons. Carbon 12, therefore has 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 is another isotope of carbon, still having 6 protons, but has 8 neutrons, so it has an atomic mass of (6 + 8 = 14).

The greatest store of planetary carbon is the atmosphere?

As much as two-thirds of Earth's carbon may be hidden in the inner core, making it the planet's largest carbon reservoir.Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2014-12-earth-carbon-hidden-planet-core.html


What conclusions can be drawn about the existence of carbon-12 Carbon-13 and carbon -14?

Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are stable. The fact that carbon-14 is unstable, with a relatively short half-life (very short compared to the age of the Solar System) means that it must needs have been produced more recently than the creation of the Solar System.


What is the mass number of the most common isotope of carbon?

As the atomic number of nitrogen is 7, the most abundant isotope of this atmospheric gas must have 7 neutrons (14.007 - 7 = about 7), and this will make nitrogen-14 that isotope that is most abundant.


What is the most available form of carbon for life?

If you mean which isotope, then carbon-12 is the most abundant. If you mean where does the carbon come from, then it's atmospheric carbon dioxide for plants, and food for animals.


What is the same and different about the structures of carbon atoms when all carbon atoms have atomic number 6 but some have mass number 12 and others have 14 as the mass number?

Carbon 12 is abundant and stable. Carbon 14 is rare and radioactive Carbon 14 has ever so slightly different chemical properties than Carbon 12 but not so much as anyone but a really particular chemist would notice.


Is c12 a molecule?
