Answer:
Isotopes of an element share the same number of protons but have different numbers of neutrons. Let's use carbon as an example. There are three isotopes of carbon found in nature – carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14. All three have six protons, but their neutron numbers - 6, 7, and 8, respectively - all differ.
Explanation:
Answer:
Concept: Chemical Analysis
- Start by taking inventory of the elements that you have
- Make a list, one for the right side and another for the left side
- Then add coefficients to the elements to the right or left side to balance out the equation
