Question

what is carbon 12 in chemistry​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbon-12 (12C) is the more abundant of the two stable isotopes of carbon (carbon-13 being the other), amounting to 98.93% of the element carbon;[1] its abundance is due to the triple-alpha process by which it is created in stars. Carbon-12 is of particular importance in its use as the standard from which atomic masses of all nuclides are measured, thus, its atomic mass is exactly 12 daltons by definition. Carbon-12 is composed of 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons.

Answer 2

Answer:

Carbon-12 is isotope of Carbon

Explanation:

Isotope have same Atomic Number but different

Atomic masses. Take the example of Carbon-12 atom whose atomic mass nearly 12 and other isotope of carbon have atomic nearly 14 but Carbon-12 has more abundance than other isotope of Carbon atom.
