Does the carbon14 have more protons neutrons or electrons than carbon12?
Carbon-14 contains more neutrons compared to carbon-12. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. The number of protons and electrons in both carbon isotopes remains the same, at 6 each.
When atoms have fewer or more neutrons than protns they are called?
Isotopes.
Why isotopes of an element with fewer neutrons have lower densities and lower melting and boiling points?
Isotopes with fewer neutrons have less mass, leading to weaker intermolecular forces, resulting in lower densities and lower melting and boiling points compared to isotopes with more neutrons. The presence of more neutrons increases the mass and the strength of intermolecular interactions, thus increasing the density and melting and boiling points.
When an atom has an unbalanced ratio of protons and neutrons what will it try to do to stabalize itself?
There generally isn't a problem; the more protons an atom has, the more neutrons it takes to glue them together. A Helium atom has two protons and generally two neutrons; in every other stable atom, there are more neutrons than protons. There are isotopes of elements with fewer-than-normal numbers of neutrons; these isotopes are generally unstable and radioactive, and will generally decay into other elements.
How many protons neutrons and electrons does nitrogen have have?
According to Wikipedia neutral nitrogen has 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons. Nitrogen ions may have more or less electrons and other nitrogen isotopes may have more or fewer neutorns.
