The symbol of any isotope of carbon is 'C'

There three isotopes of carbon , they are 12.13.& 14.

They are usually shown as 'C-12', 'C-13' & C-14'.

However it is understood as 12C. 13C, & 14C. Although in this written form it can be seen as 12 moles of Carbon etc.,

C-12 is the commonest isotope of carbon

C-13 is used in C-13 magnetic resonce.

C-14 is radio active.

Give you the structure and composition of isotopes of hydrogen and carbon?

Hydrogen has three isotopes: protium (1 proton), deuterium (1 proton and 1 neutron), and tritium (1 proton and 2 neutrons). Carbon has two stable isotopes: carbon-12 (6 protons and 6 neutrons) and carbon-13 (6 protons and 7 neutrons), along with a radioactive isotope carbon-14 (6 protons and 8 neutrons).


How many neutrons doescarbon have?

Run of the mill carbon-12 atom has 6 protons, 6 neutrons. Isotopes will have varying amounts. Carbon-13 and carbon-14 have 7 and 8 neutrons.


How do you draw two isotopes of carbon and give the mass number for each?

To draw two isotopes of carbon, you would start with the atomic symbol "C" in the center of a circle. For carbon-12, which has a mass number of 12, you would write "12" as a superscript before the atomic symbol "C." For carbon-14, with a mass number of 14, you would similarly write "14" as a superscript before the atomic symbol "C." This notation helps differentiate between the isotopes based on their respective mass numbers.


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.


What is the neutrons for carbon?

The number of neutrons in a carbon atom can vary, as carbon can have different isotopes. The most common isotope of carbon is carbon-12, which has 6 neutrons. Other isotopes, like carbon-13 and carbon-14, have 7 and 8 neutrons, respectively.


What is the Chemistry of an element largely determind by?

They are isotopes, (carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, carbon-13 has 7 neutrons, and carbon-14* has 8 neutrons) *Note: Carbon-14 is unstable and radioactive, although it does occur in nature, it is mostly used for carbon-dating.


Carbon 12 and carbon 13 are different in the number of what?

Neutrons. The number of protons is ALWAYS the same for the same element. Different forms of the same element, called isotopes, differ in the number of neutrons only and will react chemically in exactly the same way.


Examples of an isotope?

Some examples of isotopes are carbon-12 (6 protons, 6 neutrons), carbon-13 (6 protons, 7 neutrons), and carbon-14 (6 protons, 8 neutrons). These isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.


How do two isotopes differ from one another?

Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes of different elements differ in the number of protons and neutrons. For instance, carbon-12, a stable form of carbon, has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-14, a radioactive form of carbon that occurs in nature, has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Nitrogen-16, on the other hand, also radioactive and occurring in the primary coolant of nuclear power plants, has 7 protons and 9 neutrons.


Which has greatest number of neutrons carbon13 and carbon14 or nitrogen14?

C-13 has an atomic number of 6 and an atomic mass of 13, therefore it has 13-6 neutrons = 7. C-14 therefore has 8 neutrons. N-14 has an atomic mass of 14 and an atomic number of 7, so its number of neutrons is 7. 8>7, so Carbon 14 has the largest number of neutrons.


What element on the periodic table has 7 neutrons?

Isotopes having 7 neutrons: hudrogen-7, helium-9, lithium-10, beryllium-11, boron-12 and many others.
