Neutrons. The number of protons is ALWAYS the same for the same element. Different forms of the same element, called isotopes, differ in the number of neutrons only and will react chemically in exactly the same way.

Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are isotope of carbon?

because carbon-12 and carbon-14 both have different electrons while having the same proton and different neutron.


Do carbon 12 and 14 have the same atomic mass?

No. They have different masses, but the same atomic number. Carbon-12 has a mass number of 12 and atomic number of 6, and carbon-14 has a mass number of 14 and atomic number of 6. The difference in mass number is due to different numbers of neutrons. Carbon-12 atoms have 6 neutrons and carbon-14 atoms have 8 neutrons.


Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are examples of?

Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are isotopes of carbon. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in variations in their atomic mass.


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.


When considering carbon-12 carbon-13 and carbon-14 what is it that makes all of these carbon?

Carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon, meaning they all have the same number of protons (6) but different numbers of neutrons. The isotopes differ in their atomic mass due to the varying number of neutrons, with carbon-12 having 6 neutrons, carbon-13 having 7 neutrons, and carbon-14 having 8 neutrons.


True or false two isotopes of carbon are carbon-12 and carbon-14 theese isotopes differ from one another by two ELECTRONS?

False. Carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon that differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei, not electrons. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. The number of electrons in an atom is determined by its atomic number, which is the same for both isotopes of carbon (6 electrons).


Is carbon-14 an element or an isotope?

Carbon-14 is the Isotope of Carbon-12. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons, but the same number of protons.


What element has the mass number of 12?

Carbon has a mass number of 12.


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

Carbon is a non metal element. Mass number of it is 12.


How are the isotope carbon-12 and carbon-14 different from ech other?

The number of neutrons (and the fact that C14 is radioactive).


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.


Mass number for carbon?

The mass number for carbon is 12, which represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of a carbon atom.
