Does the carbon14 have more protons neutrons or electrons than carbon12?
It has the same number of protons and electrons, but two more neutrons.
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.
What is the amount of fissionable material required to continue a reaction at a constant rate?
At less than critical mass, there are fewer "targets" for neutrons to strike, fission, and release more neutrons. As a result, the reaction dies out.
What is an isotope and why are atomic masses usually in decimal form?
An isotope is a variant of the atom with the same number of protons but more or fewer neutrons. The atomic mass is an average of the isotopes of the element. The average is weighted according to the relative abundance of such isotopes.
Does the carbon14 have more protons neutrons or electrons than carbon12?
It has the same number of protons and electrons, but two more neutrons.
What element has fewer or more neutrons than protons?
The vast majority
What is the relationship between isotopes and nucleus?
An isotope has either more or fewer neutrons than a stable atom, and neutrons are part of the nucleus.
Will an atom with more neutrons react identically to an atom of the same element with fewer neutrons?
Not always. Some atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are radioactive, whereas the other atoms are not.
A magnesium ion differs from a magnesium atom because 1. two fewer neutrons. 2. one fewer electron. 3. one more electron. 4. two fewer electrons.?
4. two fewer electrons.

What Limitations are there of using carbon14 to date rocks?
The main limitations of using Carbon14 dating to find the age of something that is carbon base are firstly the possibility that carbon may be absorbed by some things making it more difficult to get an absolutely accurate age and secondly, with Carbon14 only having a half life of 5,568 years the maximum theoretical limit for detection is 100,000 years.
Why are atomic masses written as averages?
elements exist in more than one form eg carbon 12 and carbon14
12C has one fewer proton than 13C?
Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are atoms of carbon, different isotopes of the element. Carbon owes its chemical identity, indeed, its elemental identity, to the number of protons in its nucleus. There are 6 of them. No more, no less. Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Carbon 14 has fewer protons than neutrons.
How much newtrons are in iron?
How many neutrons, not how much newtrons. Iron's atomic number is 26, so it has 26 protons; its atomic mass is approximately 56, which equals the number of protons and neutrons. 56 - 26 = 20 neutrons. While there are isotopes of iron with more or fewer neutrons, this is likely the answer you're expected to provide. If not, see Wikipedia "isotopes of iron".
How many neutrons in osmium?
The number of neutrons in the main isotopes of osmium and their abundance is116 (41%),114 (26%),113 (16%),112 (13%)There are three more isotopes with fewer protons and abundance below 5%.
