The atomic mass of a carbon isotope that has 6 protons and 7 neutrons is<u> </u><u>13</u>
Explanation:
Remember that whilst the atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, the mass number represents the summation of protons and neutrons particles in the atomic nuclei. Therefore, in this case, the carbon will have a mass number of;
6 + 7 = 13
Isotopes of an element usually have the same atomic number but different mass numbers -because they have slightly different numbers of neutrons. An example is isotopes of Carbon; C-14 and C-12
Answer is the mass of the atom. Protons + neutrons= mass
Let's say you have oxygen with a mass of 16.
Oxygen has 8 protons
To find neutrons subtract 16-8= 8
So it would also be 8 neutrons.
Example of how to find mass if you know protons + neutrons:
Sodium has 11 protons and 12 neutrons. Add the protons and neutrons
11 + 12= 23
Mass is 23
Magnesium oxide can be very bad for your health, and when we did an experiment with it in class it was white because it was so hot. It is very flammable.
By there pH . a pH below 7 is acidic . Above 7 is basic. If it’s right at 7 it’s neutral.
