What are carbon 12 carbon 13 carbon 14 are examples of?
isotopes of carbon
Why are molar masses not a whole number?
Because chlorine (like almost every other element) exists as several isotopes. The molar mass reflects the combined weight and proportion of each of those isotopes.
Which molecules show an appropriate number of bonds around each carbon atom?
A molecule that shows an appropriate number of bonds around each carbon atom will display carbon with 4 bonds. Carbon has 4 valence electrons and wants to share 4 times to get a total of 8.
What you mean when you say that a particular element consists of several isotopes?
All atoms of the same element contain the same number of protons and electrons, but atoms of a given element may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. An element has many isotopes--each with a close, but different number of neutrons.
What are atoms called if they have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons?
An atom of an element having the same number of protons (as well as electrons) but a different number of neutrons is known as an isotope. Isotopes are often used in the nuclear power industry. An example of an industry is "heavy water" or Deuterium Oxide. It is water but with and isotope of hydrogen that has 2 extra neutrons. The isotope is called Deuterium, and heavy water is also sometimes known as D2O.
Carbon atom with atomic no of 6 and atomic mass of 12 considered isotopes of one another?
No. A carbon atom has both an atomic number and an atomic mass. All carbon atoms have an atomic number of 6. The most common carbon atom has an atomic mass of 12. See the Related Questions for more information about carbon, isotopes and atomic number and atomic mass.Go to Answers.com and punch in "carbon isotopes" and it will show you various isotopes and the atomic mass (u) associated with each (shown as isotopic mass).
Isotopes of an element differ from each other in the number of?
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.
How can you find the number of neutrons an element t has?
One quick way to find that out is to open the Wikipedia and type "Isotopes of Carbon", "Isotopes of Uranium", or whatever element you are interested in. Please note that each element has several different isotopes; the number of neutrons varies from one isotope to another.
What are isotopes of the same element?
Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same number of protons (the same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons. Therefore, isotopes have different mass numbers, which give the total number of nucleons-the number of protons plus neutrons. Many, if not all, elements have isotopes. Most are unstable, i.e. radioactive, due to interactions involving the weak force. IN SHORT:Isotopes have the same atomic number but different atomic mass. For example: Carbon-12, for instance, has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-13, an isotope of carbon, has 6 protons and 7 neutrons.
Compare the structure of carbon 12 and carbon-14?
Both carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon. However, carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8.
Do All carbon atoms have exactly 6 protons?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom defines the element. An atom which as 6 protons will be Carbon. The atomic weight of an element depends upon not only the proton but also the neutrons in the nucleus. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. There are three isotopes of carbon: carbon 12 (with 6 neutrons) and carbon 13 (with 7 neutrons) are stable, and carbon 14 (with 8 neutrons) is slightly radioactive and decays by emitting neutrons to carbon 12.
True or false The number of neutrons always equals the number of protons?
False. The number of electrons always equals the number of protons for an element and this is called the atomic number of an element. The number of neutrons in an element depends on other factors and varies by element and the same element can have different versions with a different number of neutrons. Each version is called an isotopes. The sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom is called the atomic weight. Hydrogen has three isotopes with 0, 1, or 2 neutrons, with atomic weights 1,2, 3). Isotopes with 1 or 2 neutrons are extremely rare. Carbon has four isotopes. It can have 5, 6, 7, or 8 neutrons (atomic weights 11, 12, 13, 14). We commonly refer to different isotopes by its name and weight as in carbon-11, carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14. Carbon-12 is common and everywhere. the others are very rare. Carbon-11 and carbon-14 are considered unstable and tend to brake down into other elements over a period of time releasing energy as it happens. This is called radioactivity.
What are carbon 12 carbon 13 carbon 14 are examples of?
isotopes of carbon
In what way are two isotopes of the same element different?
An isotope is simply a certain element with a different atomic mass, for example carbon 12 is the same element as carbon 13 because it has the same number of protons, but it has an atomic mass of 12 because it has a different number neutrons. On the periodic table, the atomic mass labeled is normally the average atomic mass, or the mass of the most stable isotope. So to answer your question two different isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons, but the same number of protons and electrons.
How do isotopes of an atom differ from each other?
Isotopes can either be stable or unstable. Unstable isotopes have an uneven number of protons and neutrons. Stable isotopes have the same number of protons and neutrons. The number of usual protons in an element is found in the atomic mass, but I won't go there. (hope this helps, this is what we're learning about in our science class)
Are carbon and nitrogen isotopes of each other?
No! Nuclides with different element names are never isotopes of each other, because their nuclei contain different numbers of protons and therefore are not chemically alike.
Which elements have isotopes with the same number of protons and neutrons?
There are a few. Helium has 2 of each, carbon 12 has 6 of each. Oxygen has 8 of each.
