No. The only mass numbers of carbon isotopes that occur naturally are 12 and 13, and the number of atoms with mass number 12 is much greater than the number of atoms with mass number 13 in any carbon from natural sources. Carbon-14 exists at all only in carbon including man-made isotopes.

What is the normal phase to carbon element?

Well ive been getting info saying that its a solid so that may be it if i need to be corrected please do thatDomonique Johnstonmy email address is daj806@yahoo.com


What do plants breath in carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide?

Plants breathe in carbon dioxide through tiny openings on their leaves called stomata. They convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose through the process of photosynthesis to use as energy for growth. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that can be harmful to plants and disrupt their normal respiratory functions.


What is the acceptable levels for carbon monoxide in a normal home?

The acceptable levels of carbon monoxide in a normal home are typically below 9 parts per million (ppm) in the air over an 8-hour period or below 35 ppm over a 1-hour period. It is important to have a working carbon monoxide detector to monitor levels and ensure safety.


The pH of normal rain is what?

The pH of normal rain is around 5.6, making it slightly acidic. This acidity is due to the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which forms carbonic acid when it combines with water in the rain.


What is above normal levels of carbon dioxide?

Above normal levels of carbon dioxide refer to an increase in the concentration of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere beyond what is considered typical. This increase is typically due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, leading to global warming and climate change.

What are atoms with the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons called?

Isotopes have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Different isotopes of a single element are on the same position on the periodic table of elements. The existence of isotopes was first suggested in 1913 by a radiochemist named Frederick Soddy.


Where do you find the isotopes in an atom?

Isotopes are found in the nucleus of an atom. They are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. The different isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties but different physical properties.


What has a different mass number than the normal atom?

We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.


What does c-14 have more than normal carbon?

Carbon 14 has two additional neutrons compared to other isotopes of carbon. Carbon 12 is the most prevalent form of carbon. Carbon 13 also exists. Carbon 14 is radioactive and will eventually break down into other atoms.


Do isotopes have a nucleus?

Yes. Isotopes are simply normal elements with a different number of constituent neutrons in their nucleus. All isotopes have a nucleus with an identical number of protons to its element.


What is an isotope Give an example?

An isotope is an atom of a given element with a different mass. this means it must have a different number of neutrons, as changing the amount of protons would change the element. in short, an isotope is an atom with a special number of neutrons. eg. normal hydrogen- 1 H 1 deuterium (hydrogen with a neutron) 2 H 1 if you dont understand what im talking about just wiki it.


Is aluminum isotope or normal?

Aluminum, like all other elements, comes in a variety of isotopes, and that is normal.


Why is radioactive decay a good method of measuring the absolute age of ancient fossils?

There are different types of atoms with the same chemical properties but with different numbers of neutrons in the atomic nucleus. These are called "isotopes". The most common element in most living organisms is carbon, which comes in two isotopes; carbon 12, which is normal ordinary carbon and carbon 14, which is very slightly radioactive. The radioactivity means that it will decay, changing into some other element, very slowly. The proportion of carbon 12 to carbon 14 is pretty steady, so as living things grow, they take in carbon 12 and carbon 14 in their food and air. When the plant or animal dies, they stop taking in new carbon. The carbon 12 remains the same, while the carbon 14 decays into something else very slowly. When we find the remains or the fossil of the dead animal or plant, we can measure how much carbon 12 and how much carbon 14 there is, and calculate how long it has been since the animal died.


How are normal elements differ from an isotope of the element?

Normal elements have a specific number of protons in the nucleus, while isotopes have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties, but different physical properties such as atomic mass.


Is Isotope mass a whole number?

yes,because in isotopes neutrons differ from normal element.


Which symbols represent atoms of the same element that are istopes?

The normal chemical symbol is used for the isotope with the addition of the atomic number (Z) at the lower left of the symbol and the atomic mass number (A) at the upper left as shown X.For example Li and Li represent two isotopes of lithium.Since all lithium isotopes have an atomic number Z=3, this number is usually omitted and the isotopes are represented by the symbols Li and Li. These are sometimes written as Lithium-6 and Lithium-7 or Li-6 and Li-7.


Isomers are different from normal atoms because?

I assume you mean "isotopes" instead of isomers. The term "isotope" refers to the relationship between two or more atoms of the same element which have different atomic masses; therefore, they have a different number of neutrons. Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are isotopes: same element, different masses. Carbon-12 is more prevalent and more stable, but C-14 is still "normal." P.S. "Isomers" have to do with the "handedness" of molecules. Some are right-handed and others left. It's seen mostly in organic chemistry. Our bodies use Right-handed glucose (D-glucose), but left-handed amino acids (L-alanine, e.g.).
