Question

A neutral atom of carbon -14 contains 6 protons, 6 electrons and 8 neutron
True
False ​

Answer 1

False is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

true

Explanation:

the atomic mass of carbon (the 6th element on the periodic table) is 12.01 AMU. This tells us that most carbon atoms have 6 protons and 6 neutrons, and some carbon atoms have 6 protons and maybe 7 or 8 neutrons. Most carbon atoms have 6 protons and 6 neutrons, so the atomic mass is very close to 12 AMU.
