Answer 2

Hello @xiphoidx !
Carbon 12, Carbon 13 and Carbon 14 all are isotopes of carbon atom. Isotopes have same nuclear charge but different mass number due to different numbers of neutrons.

Answer 3

so does that mean they dont have a charge at all or they have a charge? and thank you @Abhisar

Answer 4

No they all have same nuclear charge i.e +12 [and zero overall charge]

Answer 5

Nuclear charge = Charge due to protons

Overall charge/Charge on Atom= Charge due to protons + Charge due to electrons

Answer 6

oh so they just have a normal charge of an atom?

Answer 7

?

Answer 8

Yes, they will have the same charge

Answer 9

Charge on any neutral atom is 0

Answer 10

But some one asks u what is the nuclear charge ?
Then it will be the charge due to protons.

Answer 11

thanks!

Answer 12

You're most welcome !
