Question

A nucleus of carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. The atomic number and mass number of carbon 14 are, respectively,

Answer 1

Answer:

6 and 14 respectively

Explanation:

proton number = atomic number

mass number = proton number + neutron number

since

p.n = a.n = 6

m.n = p.n + n.n

m.n = 6 + 8 = 14

m.n = 14
