How many neutrons are present in carbon-14?

Answer 1

How many neutrons in #""^14C#. Clearly, there are 8 neutrons; neutrally charged nuclear particles.

#Z#, the atomic number, of carbon is #6#. There are 6 massive, positively charged nuclear particles; this gives rise to the elemental identity. If it is the #""^14C# isotope, there must be 8 neutrally charged massive particles, 8 neutrons, in the nucleus. Capisce?
