Question

14C6 In this element, find the number of electron proton neutrons.​

Answer 1

• The number of protons in  ₆C¹⁴ = 6

• The number of electrons in  ₆C¹⁴ = 6

• The number of neutrons in  ₆C¹⁴ = 14 - 6 = 8

______________________________

• Carbon-14, or radiocarbon, is a radioactive isotope of carbon with an atomic nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

• Its presence in organic materials is the basis of the radiocarbon dating method to date archaeological, geological and hydro-geological samples.
