How many neutrons in #""^14CH_4#?

Answer 1

The number of neutrons in #""^14CH_4# are the same as the number of neutrons in #""^14C#.

For #C#, #Z=6#, therefore there are #8# neutrons, #8# fundamental, massive, neutrally charged nuclear particles in the #""^14C# nucleus.

To find the number of neutrons in an atom, you subtract the atomic number from the mass number. For the ^14CH4 molecule, the atomic number of carbon (C) is 6, and the mass number is 14. So, the number of neutrons is 14 - 6 = 8.
