Carbon-14.
The isotope is named "carbon-12".
Subtract the atomic number from the mass number. Example Carbon-12 an isotope with a mas number of 12. Carbon has an atomic number of 6 therefore carbon-12 has 6 neutrons.
It represents the mass number of that particular isotope.
As the atomic number of nitrogen is 7, the most abundant isotope of this atmospheric gas must have 7 neutrons (14.007 - 7 = about 7), and this will make nitrogen-14 that isotope that is most abundant.
Mass number is simple the #(number) of protons plus # of neutrons. Looking at the periodic table we can see that carbon contains 6 protons. Therefor we simple subtract 6 from 14, that is, 14 - 6 = 8 There are 8 neutrons in this isotope.
Carbon is a non metal element. Mass number of it is 12.
The isotope is named "carbon-12".
The isotope is named "carbon-12".
Carbon has a few isotopes. The most common naturally occurring isotope of it is C12. Mass number of it is 12.

Carbon isotope.
The isotope is named "carbon-12".
Carbon-7 is a theoretical isotope that does not actually exist. But if it DID exist, it would have one neutron, because the mass number of any isotope = protons + neutrons, and all carbon atoms have 6 protons. Therefore C-7 would have 6 protons and one neutron.
Subtract the atomic number from the mass number. Example Carbon-12 an isotope with a mas number of 12. Carbon has an atomic number of 6 therefore carbon-12 has 6 neutrons.
Carbon is a non metallic element. Mass number of it is 12.
Most helium has a mass number of 4. The rare 3He isotope has a mass number of 3. The mass number is the integer total of protons and neutrons for a given isotope. For example radioactive carbon-14 has a mass number of 14, while carbon-12 (the most common stable form) has a mass number of 12.
