Answer:

Number of electrons will be the same for C-12 and C-14 i.e. 6 electrons

Explanation:

For a given element:

Atomic number (Z) = number of protons = number of electrons -----(1)

Atomic mass (A) = number of protons + number of neutrons -----(2)

Carbon belongs to group 14 in the periodic table with an atomic number of 6. Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are two isotopes of carbon with atomic mass 12 and 14 respectively

For carbon-12: Z = 6 and A = 12

Therefore based on equations 1 and 2

Protons = 6

Electrons = 6

Neutrons = 12 - 6 = 6

For carbon-14: Z = 6 and A = 14

Protons = 6

Electrons = 6

Neutrons = 14 - 6 =8

Therefore, the number of electrons remain the same for C-12 and C-14. They however differ in the number of neutrons

A kernel of popcorn contains a small amount of water and when heated the popcorn pops. How can you explain this to someone
Aliun [14]
When you put a popcorn kernel in a microwave, the microwave heats up the water. The water then evaporates, and the air wants to escape. There will be so much pressure that the skin/shell of the kernel will break, exposing the corn.

How can we find the volume of this fish tank? Please I needed but Good
r-ruslan [8.4K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Find the number of 1-foot cubes that fill the fish tank

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Volume of a cuboid such as the fish tank is given by the product of length width and height;

Such that; Volume = length × width × height

Similarly, we can count the number of 1 foot cube that can fill the fish tank.

And since each cube has a volume of 1 cubic ft, then the number of cubes will be equivalent to the volume of the fish tank in cubic ft.
