What is the nuclear symbol and the hyphen notation for a carbon isotope with a mass number of 14 and atomic number of 6?

Note that since all carbon isotopes have an atomic number of 6, it is not necessary to state the atomic number; the fact that it is carbon means that it has the atomic number 6. So the isotope with a mass number of 14 is called carbon 14. As a symbol, it is C with a superscript 14 (which I am not able to type).

What is the atomic number of a carbon -14 isotope?
Carbon is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 6.
How many neutrons does the isotope carbon have?
Most carbon atoms have 6 neutrons, but a small fraction of them have 7 neutrons (to make carbon-13 isotope atoms) or 8 neutrons to make carbon-14 isotopes. Radioactive carbon atoms with other numbers of neutrons can be made in nuclear reactions.
What is the numerical setup for calculating the average atomic weight of carbon?
The general formula for calculation is:Atomic weight = (atomic mass of the isotope a X fraction of the isotope a) + (atomic mass of the isotope b X fraction of the isotope b) + .......(atomic mass of the isotope n X fraction of the isotope n)Don't confuse atomic weight with atomic mass, mass number or atomic number.For carbon:Atomic weight = (12 x 0,9893) + (13,0033548378 x 0,0107) = 12,0107After IUPAC tables from 2009 the atomic weight of carbon is writed as[12,0096; 12,0116].
How do you find neutrons in an element?
In order to find the number of neutrons in the atoms of an element, you must specify the isotope that you are interested in. Isotopes are specified according to their mass number. For example carbon-12 is the isotope of carbon that has a mass number of 12, and carbon-14 is the isotope of carbon that has a mass number of 14. All atoms of the same element, regardless of mass number, have the same number of protons, which is the element's atomic number. To determine the number of neutrons in an isotope, you subtract the atomic number from the mass number. For example, the atomic number of carbon is 6, which means that all carbon atoms contain 6 protons in their nuclei. So, to find the number of neutrons in a carbon-12 atom, subtract 6 from 12, and you get 6 neutrons in the atoms of carbon-12. To find the number of neutrons in a carbon-14 atom, subtract 6 from 14, and you get 8 neutrons in the atoms of carbon-14.
How many electrons does a neutral isotope of C with 8 neutrons have?
Carbon's atomic number is 6; therefore, any neutral isotope of Carbon will always have exactly 6 electrons: stable neutrons have nothing to do with the electron count of an atom.
What isotope of carbon has been chosen as the reference isotope for atomic mass unit?
carbon 12
What do the '238' in uranium-238 and the '14' in carbon-14 mean?
* 238 is the atomic mass of a natural uranium isotope. * 14 is the atomic mass of a carbon isotope.
What is nuclear notation?
notation for an isotope of an element where the subscript is the atomic number, the superscript it the mass number, and they are attached on the left of the symbol for the element.Example: 11H (kind of like that, but with no space between the 1s, it's just 1 directly over 1, then H)
What is the atomic number of the isotope carbon-14?
Carbon is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 6.
What is the atomic number of a carbon -14 isotope?
Carbon is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 6.
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). See related link for more information on carbon isotopes.
How is the isotope different from an element?
An element is defined by the number of protons in the nucleus; for example, carbon always has 6 protons. Elements can also have different numbers of neutrons in the atomic nucleus, and each number of neutrons gives you a different isotope. So, there is the isotope called carbon 12, with 6 neutrons (12 nuclear particles in total) and there is also the isotope called carbon 14, with 8 neutrons (14 nuclear particles in total). Every element has a number of isotopes.
What isotope defines the atomic mass unit?
Carbon 12.
How many neutrons does the isotope carbon have?
Most carbon atoms have 6 neutrons, but a small fraction of them have 7 neutrons (to make carbon-13 isotope atoms) or 8 neutrons to make carbon-14 isotopes. Radioactive carbon atoms with other numbers of neutrons can be made in nuclear reactions.
How do you find the number of neutrons in an isotope?
Subtract the atomic number from the mass number. Example Carbon-12 an isotope with a mas number of 12. Carbon has an atomic number of 6 therefore carbon-12 has 6 neutrons.
How do you get the number of neutron?
The isotope number and the atomic number can be used to calculate the number of neutrons. Consider carbon-14. The atomic number for carbon is 6 (i.e., the number of protons is 6). The isotope number of carbon-14 (i.e., 14 = protons + neutrons). Subtract the atomic number from the isotope number calculate the number of neutrons (8 for carbon-14).
How do you find relative atomic mass?
By relating carbon 12 isotope
