How does carbon -12 compare to carbon -13?

Answer 1

Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are isotopes of carbon (different atoms of the same element with same number of protons but different number of neutrons). Carbon-13 has 7 neutrons while carbon-12 have 6 neutrons. Both have 6 protons and 6 electrons.

Answer 2

Carbon-12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while carbon-13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons. Carbon-12 is a stable and abundant isotope, making up about 98.9% of natural carbon, while carbon-13 is a stable isotope but less abundant, making up about 1.1% of natural carbon.

Answer 3

1 gram of carbon-12.

Carbon-12 is lighter than carbon-13.
So per mass unit, there has to be more carbon-12 to make up for the weight diffrence.

Answer 4

I'd say that they both have the same amount of atoms, because they are both Carbon atoms and both are one gram. It's just that Carbon-13 will have more neutrons overall than Carbon-12.

Answer 5

if you had the same weight of both, carbon-12 would have more atoms. It is less massive than carbon-13, so it has to have more atoms to equal the weight of the carbon-13 atoms.

Answer 6

1 gram of carbon-12.

Carbon-12 is lighter than carbon-13.

So per mass unit, there has to be more carbon-12 to make up for the weight diffrence.

Answer 7

They would have the same number of atoms.
