Answer:

The number in C-12 and C-14 represent their atomic masses.

Explanation:

The number in C-12 and C-14 represent their atomic masses.

These two are the isotopes of carbon.

Isotopes of an element have same atomic number and different atomic masses due to different number of neutrons present.

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.  All these three subatomic particles construct an atom.

All isotopes of carbon have same number of electrons and protons i.e, six

while C-14 has 8 neutrons and C-12 has six neutrons.

C-14 = 14-6 = 8

C-12 = 12-6 = 6

Thus sum of neutrons and protons is atomic mass that's why C-14 has 14 atomic mass (8+6=14) while C-12 has 12 atomic mass (6+6=12).

Summarize the five points of Dalton’s atomic theory, and explain at least one change that occurred to the atomic theory because
Umnica [9.8K]
The postulates of Dalton's theory were:
1) Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms
2) <span>Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties
</span>3) <span>Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed</span>
4) Atoms combine in whole number ratio to form compounds
5) Chemical reactions are the rearrangement of atoms
The third postulate has been disproved by modern science, in which the atom has been split and been subdivided into smaller parts such as the neutron, proton and electron, which are further subdivided into quarks, gluons, and kaons.
The second postulate was also disproved upon the discovery of isotopes.
