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.

Yes. Carbon 14 is more reactive then carbon 12.


How many carbon atoms are in a molecule of maltose if the molecules has 12 oxygen atoms?

There are 12 carbon atoms in a molecule of maltose. Each carbon atom forms a total of four bonds, which include bonds with other carbon atoms, hydrogen atoms, or oxygen atoms. With 12 oxygen atoms present, these atoms would be accounted for in the molecular structure of maltose as well.

What is the two difference between 6C12 and 6C14?

The main difference between carbon-12 (6C12) and carbon-14 (6C14) is the number of neutrons they have in their nuclei. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. This difference in neutron number affects the stability and radioactive properties of the two isotopes.


What is the difference in chemical composition of petrol compared to kerosene?

Petrol, is different from Kerosene because the hydrocarbons that you find in Petrol will generally have less hyrdogen and carbon atoms than Kerosene would have. E.g. the hydrocarbons that make up Petrol may have in between 4 to 12 carbon and 10 to 26 hydrogen atoms, whereas Kerosene would have between 6 to 16 carbon and 14 to 34 hydrogen atoms.


What is ratio of carbon atoms to oxygen atoms in table sugar?

The ratio of carbon atoms to oxygen atoms in table sugar (sucrose) is 12:11. This means that for every 12 carbon atoms, there are 11 oxygen atoms in the molecular formula of sucrose (C12H22O11).


Do carbon 12 and 14 have the same atomic mass?

No. They have different masses, but the same atomic number. Carbon-12 has a mass number of 12 and atomic number of 6, and carbon-14 has a mass number of 14 and atomic number of 6. The difference in mass number is due to different numbers of neutrons. Carbon-12 atoms have 6 neutrons and carbon-14 atoms have 8 neutrons.


What is the difference in the isotopes c-12 and c-13?

12C is a carbon atom with 6 neutrons, 13C has 7 neutrons. Each isotope contains 6 protons, so 6+6=12 and 6+7=13.


How many atoms are in exactly 12g of carbon -12 please explain in detail?

In 12g of carbon-12, the molar mass of one carbon-12 atom is 12g/mol. This means that 12g of carbon-12 is equivalent to 1 mole of carbon-12 atoms. Avogadro's number states that 1 mole of atoms contains 6.022 x 10^23 atoms. Therefore, there are 6.022 x 10^23 atoms in exactly 12g of carbon-12.

How many atoms are in 9.00 grams of carbon 13?

There are approximately 6.022 x 10^23 atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12 (Avogadro's number). Since carbon-13 has one more neutron, it will have a slightly lower number of atoms than carbon-12 per unit mass. Therefore, there will be slightly fewer atoms in 9.00 grams of carbon-13 compared to carbon-12, but the difference is negligible.
