Answer:
The atomic nucleus consists of nucleons—protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are made of quarks and held together by the strong force generated by gluon exchange between quarks

All isotopes of carbon c^12 c^13 and c^14 have equal number of protons in their nucleus which is 6
And number of neutrons is different because of their different masses.
No.of neutrons in c12 =atomic mass-atomic number= 12-6=6
No.of neutrons in c13 =atomic mass-atomic number=13-6=7
No.of neutrons in c14=atomic mass-atomic number=14-6
