12
The isotope 14C has 8 neutrons.
Eight.
There are 6 neutrons in carbon. it depends on which isotope of carbon it is. C-12 has 6 neutrons C-13 has 7 neutrons C-14 has 8 neutrons
The carbon isotope with seven neutrons is carbon-14. The atomic number of carbon is 6, which represents the number of protons. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, so for carbon-14, it is 6 (protons) + 7 (neutrons) = 14. Thus, carbon-14 has an atomic number of 6 and a mass number of 14.
The atom with 8 neutrons and 6 protons would be carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon.
The isotope 14C has 8 neutrons.
There are 8 more neutrons in an isotope of carbon-14 than in a standard carbon atom. Carbon-14 has 8 neutrons, while a standard carbon atom (carbon-12) has 6 neutrons.
Most carbon atoms have 6 neutrons, but a small fraction of them have 7 neutrons (to make carbon-13 isotope atoms) or 8 neutrons to make carbon-14 isotopes. Radioactive carbon atoms with other numbers of neutrons can be made in nuclear reactions.

Carbon-14
carbon 14 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 8 neutrons.
Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons and carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. This difference in neutron number leads to different atomic masses for the two isotopes. Carbon-14 is radioactive and decays over time, while carbon-12 is stable.
The carbon isotope with seven neutrons is carbon-14. The atomic number of carbon is 6, which represents the number of protons. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, so for carbon-14, it is 6 (protons) + 7 (neutrons) = 14. Thus, carbon-14 has an atomic number of 6 and a mass number of 14.
The isotope number and the atomic number can be used to calculate the number of neutrons. Consider carbon-14. The atomic number for carbon is 6 (i.e., the number of protons is 6). The isotope number of carbon-14 (i.e., 14 = protons + neutrons). Subtract the atomic number from the isotope number calculate the number of neutrons (8 for carbon-14).
The atom with 8 neutrons and 6 protons would be carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon.
Carbon 12 the most common contains 6 Carbon 13 contains 7 Carbon 14 contains 8
