Answer:
B) All carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.
Explanation:
The false statement from the given choices is that all carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.
There is a phenomenon called isotopy in chemistry.
Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.
- These atoms of elements are called isotopes.
- Carbon atoms generally have proton number of 6 which is the same as the atomic number.
- As with all atoms, the mass number or atomic mass equals the number of protons and neutrons.
For the isotopes of carbon, their number of neutrons differs.
For example:
<em>¹²₆C ¹³₆C ¹⁴₆C</em>
The number of neutrons differs in the above isotopes.
Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number;
¹²₆C , number of neutrons = 12 - 6 = 6
¹³₆C, number of neutrons = 13 - 6 = 7
¹⁴₆C, number of neutrons = 14 - 6 = 8
Therefore, based on the concept of isotopy, all carbon atoms do not have 6 neutrons.

Hi!
The question that science cannot answer is any question which is opinionated. It cannot have one true answer because it is simply subjective.
Other examples would be any question which cannot successfully follow the scientific method.
So, in the case of the question - the answer is going to be whichever question is <em>opinionated. </em>Just as a hint, not <em>everyone </em><em>thinks </em>endangered animals <em>should </em>be protected.
Hopefully, this helps! =)
The equilibrium constant k is actually the ratio of the
concentration of the products over the concentration of reactants at equilibrium. So if the
concentration of products < concentration of reactants, therefore the
constant k will be small. But if the concentration of products >
concentration of reactants, the constant k will be large. In this case the
value is too small (x10^-19), therefore we can say that the reaction favors the
reactant side:
the equilibrium lies far to the left
