What is the atomic number, atomic mass, and number of neutrons of carbon?

Answer 1

See Below

Carbon has 3 isotopes. Carbon-12, Carbon-13, and Carbon-14 All of them have an atomic number of 6, which means all of them have 6 protons (if they had different numbers of protons, they'd be different elements).

Since they all have 6 protons, in their elemental forms, they all have 6 electrons, too.

Carbon-12: Atomic number: 6 Mass number: 12 protons: 6 electrons: 6 neutrons: 6

Carbon-13: Atomic number: 6 Mass number: 13 protons: 6 electrons: 6 neutrons: 7

Carbon-14: Atomic number: 6 Mass number: 14 protons: 6 electrons: 6 neutrons: 8

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
