(i) State the mass number of this carbon atom

Respuesta :

11348

Answer:

carbon atoms with the usual 6 neutrons have a mass number of 12 (6 protons + 6 neutrons = 12), so they are called carbon-12. Carbon atoms with 7 neutrons have an atomic mass of 13 (6 protons + 7 neutrons = 13). These atoms are the isotope called carbon-13.

an atom of carbon with six neutrons, carbon-12, has an atomic mass of 12 amu.
