If iron (Fe) gained a proton it would become cobalt (CO).
Explanation:
Carbon exists in several isotopes. ... Carbon has the atomic number of 6 which means that all isotopes have the same proton number. However, the number of neutrons is different, thus giving different mass numbers. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, carbon-13 has 7 neutrons, and carbon-14 contains 8 neutrons.
