carbon -12 is the most common isotope of carbon.

98.9% of all carbon is Carbon-12

So, if you find some carbon. charcoal diamond or any other form of carbon, I am 98.9%sure it is C-12.

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 characteristics do carbon 12 carbon 13 carbon 14 have in common?

They have the same number of protons and electrons.


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.


How are the isotopes of an atom the same and how are they different?

Carbon-12 is the common carbon Carbon-14 sterilizing surgical apparatus


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.


Why is carbon 14 more reactive than carbon 12?

Carbon-14 is not more reactive than carbon-12. Both isotopes of carbon have the same chemical properties and reactivity. The difference between carbon-14 and carbon-12 lies in their atomic structure and their radioactive decay rates, not in their reactivity.


Carbon 12 and carbon 13 are different in the number of what?

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.


Compare 1 gram sample of carbon 12 be more that 1 gram of carbon 13?

The mass of 1 gram of carbon 12 is the same mass as 1 gram of carbon 13.


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.


What do the elements of carbon-12 carbon-13 carbon-14 have in common?

They all have the same number of electrons (6) and protons (6).


How many outer electrons does carbon 12 have?

The same as any other isotope of carbon: four.


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.
