It has 14 electrons
|
|
|
It has 14 neutrons
|
|
|
It has 14 protons
|
|
|
It has an atomic mass of 14
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -For example, carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon that has six protons and eight neutrons in its nucleus. We call it carbon-14 because the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, also known as the mass number, adds up to 14 (6+8=14).
Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon-14: with 6 protons and 8 neutrons, and an atomic mass of 14.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Silicon has 14 protons and 14 neutrons. Silicon’s atomic number is 14, which tells us that it has 14 protons. It has an atomic mass of 28.
Detailed explanation-4: -The nuclear notation will be: 146C . Note: Carbon-14 is the radioactive isotope used in radiocarbon dating and radio labelling.
