Question

Another isotope of carbon has a mass of 14. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in this isotope?

Answer 1

Well, all isotopes of carbon have `Z=6`...

Explanation:

And so `""^14C` necessarily has 6 nuclear protons. And to account for the remaining mass there are 8 `"nucular"` neutrons. Because the atom is neutral, there must be electrons, in order to balance the nuclear charge.
