Question

Build Carbon (6 red protons, 6 grey neutrons, 6 blue electrons) How many

neutrons could an isotope of carbon have?
A. 5
B. 6
C. 7

Answer 1

B. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Isotope given:

¹⁴₆C

In specie written as this;

Superscript = Mass number

Subscript = Atomic number

To find the protons, it is the same as the atomic number;

Protons = Atomic number = 6

Neutrons have no charges;

Neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number =

Neutrons = 14 - 6 = 8

The number of electrons is the same as the atomic number = 6

Answer 2

B I think sorry if it’s wrong (;
