What is it called when a atom with the same number of proton but different number of neutron?
Isotopes have the same numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. One of the most common examples is carbon: C12 is the standard carbon atom, but C13 and C14, although still carbon atoms, have one or two extra neutrons.
Is c12 a compound or element?
c12 is an element
Molecule and atom how they are alike?
A molecule is made up of atoms. molecule has three atom
How many neutrons does carbon-17 have?
11 Carbon has atomic(proton) number 6. i.e it has 6 protons. There are three naturally occurring isotopes for carbon. They are C12 c13 and c14. among them c14 is radioactive. c12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. c13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons. c14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Similarly, c17 has 6 protons and 11 neutrons.
What is c12 made of?
C12 means there are 12 atoms of carbon in that molecule.
Atomic nomber of carbon?
Carbon is available in three isotopes, C12, C13 and C14. C12 is the most common.
How many isotopes dose c have?
3 - c12, c13 and c14
An atom of an element is electrically neutral becaue the?
carbon exists as 3 naturally isotopes c12 c13 c14 as he number of neutrons increase in the isotope the nuclear charge
What is it called when the atoms only differ in the number of protons?
It is called an Isotope.... C12, C13, C14 is a classical example

What is the applications of carbon isotopes?
The main ones are using c14. Radiocarbon dating gives acurate dating of historic and prehistoric organic materials. Also, c14 is used to "tag" carbon compounds to track how different sources of carbon are used in molecular biology/biochemistry. Additionally, c3 and c4 plants (this difference is in the regulation of photosynthesis) take in carbon isotopes at different rates. A c4 plant (like corn) will use c13 as readily as c12. However, c3 plants will not use c13 as readily as c12. This means that the ratio of c12 to c13 is different in c3 plants then in c4 plants. More importantly, the ratios are kept through tropic levels: when an animal uses carbon from a c4 plant, the ratio of c12 to c13 will be the same as in the plant. The use: we (humans in general) can analyze the ratio of c12 to c13 in animals, showing if they consume mostly c3 or c4 plants. This means that we can track carbon through a food chain or see if an historic tribe consumed more land based food (more likely c4) or sea food (completely c3). The studies that show that people from the US are 90% corn? Corn is the most common c4 food/carbon source today, and this type of study finds that people in the US have a c12 to c13 ratio that corresponds to 90% of our food to be derived from c4 plants.
What is the number of neutrons in one atom of carbon?
In Carbon-12, the most abundant form of Carbon, there are 6 Neutrons, 6 Protons and 6 Electrons. In Carbon-14, the radioactive isotope of Carbon used in Carbon Dating, has 6 Protons, 8 Neutrons and 6 Electrons.
How are protons and electrons alike?
---------They are all alike because they all are located in an atom or around an atom=P
How are protons and neutrons alike?
Neutrons and protons are alike because when the electrons orbit around an atom, they are both in the center of the atom, or in the nucleus!!!
Who owns C13 SRS?
I own C13 SRS
Is HIV called c13?
Yes it is. HIV is coded as C13.
How are nuclear geothermal solar and hydroelectric alike?
they are alike becausee they are part of an atom
