They all have the same number of Protons-6. They differ in the number of neutrons present.

Which has greatest number of neutrons carbon13 and carbon14 or nitrogen14?
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.
Why is carbon14 dating not accurate for estimating the age of materials more than 50.000 years old?
Too little carbon-14 remains after 50,000 years
What are the missing coefficients for respiration the conversion of gulcose and oxygen to carbon dioxide and water so that all atoms are conserved in the chemical reaction?
C6H12O6 +6O2 --->6CO2 +6H2OCheck to be sure:6 carbon | 6 carbon12 hydrogen | 12 hydrogen6 oxygen + 12 oxygen | 12 oxygen + 6 oxygen
What atom has 5 protons and 6 neutrons and 5 electrons?
I'm almost positive the protons always tell you the identification of an element on the periodic chart... the atom with 6 protons is Carbon a non metal but if electrons are 5 then it must be carbon cation C+.
CONSIDERING ONLY THE PROTONES BONDED TO CARBON, put in order of acidity descending the following compoundsCH3CH2OH, CH3COCH3, CH3COH, CH3COOCH3?
hi
How do you find the atomic weight on the periodic table?
On many Periodic Tables, the small number directly below the chemical symbol is the atomic mass. On mine, there is a small 12.011 under the large C for carbon. While most carbon is 12, there are naturally occurring carbon13 and carbon14, so this is an average mass of all naturally occurring isotopes, with the majority of isotopes being carbon12
How many carbon atoms are present in a mole of carbon12?
6.023 x 1023
What is the mass number of carbon14?
Carbon is a non metallic element. Mass number of it is 12.
What Limitations are there of using carbon14 to date rocks?
The main limitations of using Carbon14 dating to find the age of something that is carbon base are firstly the possibility that carbon may be absorbed by some things making it more difficult to get an absolutely accurate age and secondly, with Carbon14 only having a half life of 5,568 years the maximum theoretical limit for detection is 100,000 years.
Which has greatest number of neutrons carbon13 and carbon14 or nitrogen14?
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.
Why are atomic masses written as averages?
elements exist in more than one form eg carbon 12 and carbon14
How many years would it take for the mass of a 1.00 g sample of carbon12 to be reduce to 0.125g?
It will take practically forever. Carbon-12 is not radioactive.
Why is carbon14 dating not accurate for estimating the age of materials more than 50.000 years old?
Too little carbon-14 remains after 50,000 years
What is nuclear isotopes?
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.
What are carbon 12 carbon 13 carbon 14 are examples of?
isotopes of carbon
What two things must scientist measure to find the absolute age of a rock?
scientists use carbon14 and potassium argon to find absolute age of rock
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.
