6. Carbon's atomic number is 6, meaning it has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-14 has a mass number of 14, meaning it has extra neutrons, but no extra protons. So Carbon 14 still has 6 protons, and it has 8 (14-6) neutrons.
Carbon 14 has 8 neutrons. This is because carbon 14 has 6 protons, which is the atomic number of carbon, and the number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass number, which is 14 in this case.
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.

The atomic number of carbon is 6 and it has six electrons. The mass number of it is 41 and therefore it has 8 neutrons.
Carbon 13 has 7 neutrons.The atomic mass represents the total number of protons and electrons. Carbon atoms have 6 protons. Therefore, the atomic mass being 13, it has 7 neutrons.
If carbon has a mass number of 12, it means it has 6 protons (since the atomic number of carbon is 6). To find the number of neutrons, you subtract the number of protons from the mass number. Therefore, carbon-12 would have 6 neutrons.
Carbon is the element with mass 12. It has 6 neutrons.
A carbon atom with a mass number of 12 has 6 protons (which is the atomic number of carbon) and 6 neutrons.
Carbon 14 has 8 neutrons. This is because carbon 14 has 6 protons, which is the atomic number of carbon, and the number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass number, which is 14 in this case.
A carbon atom with a mass number of 14 and atomic number of 6 will have 8 neutrons, calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. The mass number represents the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, and the atomic number indicates the number of protons, which in this case would be 6 for carbon.
Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number =15 - 6 = 9 neutrons are there in C-15.
well the mass number is actually 12. because the ATOMIC MASS is 12.011. and to find the mass number you must round the atomic mass to the nearest WHOLE NUMBER. 12.011 rrounded to its nearest whole number would be 12. and to find the number of neutrons you must subtract the ATOMIC NUMBER (which is 6) from its mass number. 12-6=6. so carbon has 6 neutrons. carbon also has 6 protons, as well as 6 electrons.
Carbon's atomic number is 6, therefore it has 6 protons in its atoms. Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, which is 6 + 5 = 11.
Carbon-13 has 6 protons because the element is carbon. Since the atomic number for carbon is 6, it tells us the number of protons. Carbon-13 has 7 neutrons because to get the number of neutrons you subtract the atomic number from the mass number, which is 13.
Nitrogen is a non metal element. Mass number of it is 14.
The number of neutrons is 8 (carbon-14).
13. The mass number is always the total number of protons and neutrons.
