Question

What are the atomic number and mass number for the carbon isotope with seven neutrons? express your answer as integers separated by a comma. z, a =?

Answer 1

Atomic number and mass number for the carbon isotope with seven neutrons are:
Z,A = 6,13
There are 3 isotopes of carbon that are carbon 12, carbon 13 and carbon 14.
The carbon atom with seven neutron is carbon 13. Each carbon has 6 protons so its atomic number is 6 and when it has seven neutron then mass number will be (6 + 7) = 13
So, atomic number Z is 6 and mass number A is 13.
