Question

Carbon has three isotopes C12 C13and C14
Justify the positions of these isotopes according to Mendeleev’s and Modern periodic table

Answer 1

Answer:

The most abundant carbon isotope is carbon-12.

Explanation:

The relative atomic mass of carbon is 12.011, which is extremely close to 12.0. This means that the masses C-13, and C-14 are practically negligible when contributing to the relative atomic mass of carbon.

In fact, the C-12 isotope makes up 98.9% of carbon atoms, C-13 makes up 1.1% of carbon atoms, and C-14 makes up just a trace of carbon atoms as they are found in nature.

Answer 2

Explanation:

carbon has three isotopes 12-it has 6 neutron ,13-it has 7 neutron, 14-it has 8 neutron.
