What are geological isotopes?

Carbon 12, carbon 13, carbon 14.


What are the three isotopes of the element carbon?

Carbon-12 (98.93%), Carbon-13 (1.07%), and Carbon-14 (1 PPT) all occur naturally. However, Carbon-14 is radioactive (halflife 5,730±40 years) and is being produced only high in the atmosphere by bombardment of nitrogen gas by cosmic rays.


What are three isotopes and isobars of carbon?

isotopes of carbon are atomic no. 6 mass 12 , atomic no.6 mass 13 , atomic no. 6 mass 14


What is the name of carbon isotopes?

The stable carbon isotopes are carbon-12 & carbon-13. There are several other unstable isotopes.


When carbon 13 decays into carbon 14?

Carbon 13 is stable; it does not decay into carbon 14. Since carbon 14 has a greater mass, such a decay would be impossible.


What is the relationship between carbon-12 carbon-13 and carbon-14?

They all have 6 protons. C-12 has 6 neutrons, c-13 has 7 neutrons and C-14 has 8neutrons.


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

They have the same number of protons and electrons.


2 isotopes of carbon?

Yes Carbon 12, Carbon 13 and Carbon 14 are isotopes of carbon. Diamond and graphite are allotropes.


Does carbon have 6 to 8 neurons?

Neutrons. Carbon 12 has 6, carbon 13 has 7 and carbon 14 has 8.


What conclusions can be drawn about the existence of carbon-12 carbon-13 and carbon-14?

Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are stable. The fact that carbon-14 is unstable, with a relatively short half-life (very short compared to the age of the Solar System) means that it must needs have been produced more recently than the creation of the Solar System.


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.
