What else can I help you with?
What if carbon had one additional neutron but the other subatomic particles remained the same this slightly different atom would be called?
It would still be called carbon. THIS ACTUALLY EXISTS! The number of protons determines an element. Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are said to be different ISOTOPES of an element. For example, the most common isotope of carbon is called carbon-12; since carbon has 6 protons, it means that the remaining 6 particles are neutrons. However, carbon-13 (6 protons, 7 neutrons) and carbon-14 (6 protons, 8 neutrons) also exist in nature.
What is radiation particle used in bombardment of nitrogen-14?
The radiation particle used in the bombardment of nitrogen-14 is a neutron. When a neutron collides with a nitrogen-14 nucleus, it can create carbon-14 through a process called neutron capture.
What is the half-life of carbon-12?
The half-life of carbon-12 is about 5,730 years.
What did Avogadro count the number of in carbon 12 gas?
Avogadro counted the number of atoms in carbon-12 gas.
Which has a subatomic particle of a mass of 1.67 times 10-27 kg?
The proton and the neutron have mass each of one atomic mass unit. Actually they are not quite the same, but they are very close.
What the neutron for carbon?
carbon has 12 neucleons and 6 protons so it has 12- 6= 6 neutrons
What is the neutron to proton ratio in a stable form of carbon 12?
It is a 1:1 ratio because in a Carbon-12 atom there are 6 neutrons and 6 protons.
Besides the neutron what was the other product of Chadwick's nuclear reaction?
carbon-12
How do the atoms of carbon 12 and carbon 14 differ?
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.
One difference between carbon-12 and carbon-14 is that carbon-14 has?
a greater number of neutrons than carbon-12. Carbon-14 has 8 neutrons in its nucleus compared to the 6 neutrons in the carbon-12 nucleus. This difference in neutron number is what gives carbon-14 its radioactive properties.
What is a proton and neutron added together?
A proton and a neutron added together would be Deuterium without an electron.
Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are isotope of carbon?
because carbon-12 and carbon-14 both have different electrons while having the same proton and different neutron.
What is a number of neutron in carbon?
6
How does carbon 12 become carbon 14?
It doesn't. Under natural conditions, carbon 14 generally forms from nitrogen 14. A high energy neutron from space strikes the nitrogen nucleus, causing it to eject a proton, ultimately forming a carbon 14 atom and hydrogen 1 atom. It can also occur via neutron capture by carbon 13. Currently there is an overabundance of carbon 14 in the atmosphere as a result of nuclear testing.
Atoms of the same element can differ in?
An atom is made of 3 key componants, proton, neutron and electron. Different amounts of protons in the atom make it a different element, e.g carbon 12 is an element with 12 protons AND neutrons, so 6 protons and 6 neutrons. So if a proton is added to an atom, it creates a different type of atom....but.....if another Neutron is added, for example, making carbon 12-->carbon 14 by adding 2 neutrons, this makes it an isotope of carbon, as carbon would normally be found as carbon 12. So an isotope is an atom with an unnatural amount of neutrons within it.
What is the number of protons neutrons and electrons of carbon 12?
Carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. The number of protons determines the element (carbon), the number of neutrons plus protons gives the mass number (12), and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
Does 12C have fewer neutron than 13C?
Yes. Both carbon atoms have 6 protons. However, the 12C atom has 6 neutrons while the 13C atom has 7 neutrons :)
