Carbon-13 will have 6 protons (because it is carbon), 6 electrons, and 7 neutrons. Isotopes have a different number of neutrons.

Atomic mass is the given by the sum of the number of protons and number of neutron in the nucleus of the atom.

A = P + N

where A = atomic mass of the atom

P = number of protons in the nucleus of the atom

N = Number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom

Given that :

A = atomic mass = 13

P = number of protons in the nucleus = 6

N = ?

Using the equation

A = P + N

13 = 6 + N

N = 13 - 6

N = 7

hence the isotope has 7 neutrons

Any change in the speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". You'll hear "deceleration" used for slowing down but that's not technically correct.

marishachu [46]
Based on the description, it will be most likely that he believes in Oscillating model (also known as Cyclic model) of the universe

Based on this model, the gravitational force will prevent further expansion by pulling back the matters and undergo a bounce
