Question

All of the following pertain to ¹⁴6C except it A)has 6 protons. B)has 6 electrons. C)has 14 neutrons. D)is an isotope of carbon. E)has a mass number of 14.

Accepted Answer

All of the other statements are true about the isotope ¹⁴₆C. It has 6 protons (indicated by the "C" symbol for carbon), 6 electrons (since atoms have an equal number of protons and electrons), is an isotope of carbon (indicated by the "C" symbol), and has a mass number of 14 (which is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons). The only statement that is not true is that it has 14 neutrons; in fact, it has 8 neutrons (since 14 - 6 = 8).
