Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Carbon 12 is abundant in the environment, accounting for 98.89% of all carbon and is a stable isotope of carbon. Carbon 14 accounts for only about 1 trillionth of all of the carbon on Earth and is radioactive, with a half life of roughly 5700 years, which makes it good for use in dating fossils etc
because carbon-12 and carbon-14 both have different electrons while having the same proton and different neutron.
Isotopes.
isotopes of carbon are atomic no. 6 mass 12 , atomic no.6 mass 13 , atomic no. 6 mass 14
There is no difference in the electron configuration. Carbon always has 6 electrons, with 4 valence electrons. The difference is in their masses. Carbon-14 has 2 more neutrons, making it have a mass of 14, while carbon-12's mass is 12.
No, carbon-12 and carbon-14 are both forms of carbon with the same chemical properties. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons, which makes it radioactive but doesn't affect its reactivity.
Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons and carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. This difference in neutron number leads to different atomic masses for the two isotopes. Carbon-14 is radioactive and decays over time, while carbon-12 is stable.
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.
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).
because carbon-12 and carbon-14 both have different electrons while having the same proton and different neutron.
Neutrone number difference
Scientists know that the isotopes Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are both forms of carbon, but they differ in the number of neutrons they contain. Carbon-12 is the most common form of carbon and is stable, while Carbon-14 is radioactive and is used in radiocarbon dating to determine the age of organic materials.
No, Carbon-14 naturally decays into nitrogen-14 through beta decay, not into Carbon-12. Carbon-12 is a stable isotope and does not undergo radioactive decay.
Carbon - 14 has two more electrons than carbon - 12.
Geologists use carbon-14 and carbon-12 in radiocarbon dating. Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope that decays over time, while carbon-12 is a stable isotope. By measuring the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in a sample, geologists can determine the age of the sample.
a greater number of neutrons than carbon-12. Carbon-14 has 8 neutrons in its nucleus compared to the 6 neutrons in the carbon-12 nucleus. This difference in neutron number is what gives carbon-14 its radioactive properties.
Yes. Carbon 14 is more reactive then carbon 12.
Carbon-12 is more abundant on Earth than carbon-14. Carbon-12 is the most common and stable isotope of carbon, accounting for about 98.9% of all carbon atoms, while carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope with a much smaller abundance in the environment.
