Answer:

an anion that has a larger radius.

Explanation:

When a neutral atom gains electrons it forms an anion, and when it loses electrons it forms a cation. The radius or size of an anion is greater than a neutral atom. The radius or size of an cation is smaller than a neutral atom.

When electrons are added to the outermost shell of a carbon atom, it forms an anion that has a larger radius.

since an element always has a different number of protons, the mass can indicate how many neutrons are in an isotope

elena-s [515]

Answer:

The number of protons is equal to the mass number of the element. Since an element always has a different number of protons, the mass can indicate how many neutrons are in an isotope. Atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons. There are three naturally-occurring isotopes of carbon.
