Carbon is a chemical element with the symbol "C" and atomic number 6, consisting of atoms with 6 protons. Isotopes of carbon are variants of carbon atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different atomic masses. For example, carbon-12 (12C) has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 (14C) has 8 neutrons. This difference in neutron count can affect the stability and radioactive properties of the isotopes.
False. Carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon that differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei, not electrons. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. The number of electrons in an atom is determined by its atomic number, which is the same for both isotopes of carbon (6 electrons).
The atomic mass unit (amu) of a carbon isotope refers to the average mass of carbon atoms within that isotope relative to the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Carbon has several isotopes, including carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14. The difference in amu values for carbon isotopes is due to the presence of different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, which affects the overall mass of the isotope.
One example of isotopes is carbon-12 (12C) and carbon-14 (14C). These isotopes have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons. Carbon-12 is stable and commonly found in nature, while carbon-14 is radioactive and used for carbon dating.
If they are in different physical form they are ALLOTROPES. If they are in different atomic form they are ISOTOPES. e.g. Allotropes [ Graphite, diamond and buckyballs* buckminster Fullerene) are allotropes of carbon. They appear different because the arrangment of the atomis is different. Isotopes Carbon 12 , Carbon-13, Carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon , because they have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus.
The stable carbon isotopes are carbon-12 & carbon-13. There are several other unstable isotopes.
Coal, charcoal, and diamond are not isotopes of carbon; they are forms of carbon but are not considered isotopes. Fluorine is a different element and not related to carbon. Isotopes of carbon include carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14.
All isotopes of carbon have the same number of protons and electrons; but they have a different number of neutrons.
Carbon and nitrogen isotopes are not isotopes of each other. They are different elements with their own set of isotopes. Carbon isotopes include carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14, while nitrogen isotopes include nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15.

Yes, diamond and graphite are isotopes of carbon as they are both entirely made of carbon. However they have very different structures resulting in their different properties.
Many elements have different isotopes: 1) Carbon - Carbon 12, Carbon 14 2) Hydrogen - Protium, Deuterium, Tritium 3) Chlorine - Chlorine 35, Chlorine 37 etc
They are called isotopes. eg we have different isotopes of carbon
False. Carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon that differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei, not electrons. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. The number of electrons in an atom is determined by its atomic number, which is the same for both isotopes of carbon (6 electrons).
Isotopes.
The atomic mass unit (amu) of a carbon isotope refers to the average mass of carbon atoms within that isotope relative to the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Carbon has several isotopes, including carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14. The difference in amu values for carbon isotopes is due to the presence of different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, which affects the overall mass of the isotope.

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.
