What are carbon 12 carbon 13 carbon 14 are examples of?

Answer 1

isotopes of carbon

Answer 2

They are all isotopes of carbon. Definitively an 'isotope has a different number of neutrons'.

C-12 contains ; 6 protons, 6 neutrons & 6 electrons

C-13 contains ; 6 protons, 7 neutrons, & 6 electrons

C-14 contains ; 6 protons, 8 neutrons, & 6 electrons.

Do NOT confuse isotopes with allotropes.

An allotrope is an element exhibiting itself in a different physical form.

Allotropes of Carbon are

Graphite ; (black and sooty)

Diamond ; (hard and shiny)

Buckminster Fullerene ; or Footballene ; or Buckyball as it contains 60 carbon atoms in one molecule arranged in pentagons and hexagons like a foot ball. It is a black solid.

Answer 3

These are all isotopes of carbon; they therefore each have 6 protons in the nucleus. The no of neutrons is, respectively, 6, 7 and 8. Natural carbon is approx.99% C12 and 1% C13 . Tiny amounts of C14 are found in vegetable material, and allow radiocarbon dating.

Answer 4

To answer your question, they are both stable isotopes and between the two of them make up all the carbon on the planet. Carbon 12 is 98. something and 13 is 1.1.

Carbon can also exist in the carbon-14 isotope. They are all isotopes of the element carbon.

Answer 5

Carbon-12 is an atom that has six protons and six neutrons. Carbon-13 has six protons and seven neutrons. This makes carbon-13 an isotope of carbon.

Answer 6

Carbon12 is the most stable and common isotope of carbon. Carbon13 and Carbon14 are different isotopes of Carbon.

Answer 7

They are isotopes. In this case they are isotopes of Carbon. Meaning their atomic nuclei all contain 6 protons, but the number of neutrons is different.

Answer 8

these are all isotopes of the carbon 12 atom, is that what you mean?

Answer 9

isotopes of carbon

Answer 10

isotopes
