what is the arrangement of subatomic particles in 14C

Question

abhisar · Answer

It is an isotope of carbon atom

abhisar · Answer

Contains 6 electrons, 6 protons and 8 neutrons

anonymous · Answer

The nuclei number can only variable in the number of neutrons, as if we added more protons we would get another element, and adding or removing electrons would create a ion of the specific element.
So for the isotope:
146C

We have 6 protons, 6 electrons and can you then guess how many neutrons it contain?

8 :) Thank you!

Carbon-14, 14C, or radiocarbon, is a radioactive isotope of carbon with a nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Its presence in organic materials is the basis of the radiocarbon dating method pioneered by Willard Libby and coleagues (1949), to date archaeological, geological, and hydrogeological samples.
