Answer:La diferencia entre el carbono-12 y carbono-14 es el número de neutrones en cada átomo. El número dado después de que el nombre de átomo (carbono) indica el número de protones y neutrones en un átomo o ion. Los átomos de ambos isótopos de carbono contienen 6 protones. Los átomos de carbono-12 tienen 6 neutrones , mientras que los átomos de carbono-14 contienen 8 neutrones.

Explanation:Un  átomo neutro tendría el mismo número de protones y electrones, por lo que un átomo neutro de carbono-12 o carbono-14 tendría 6 electrones.

A pesar de que los neutrones no llevan una carga eléctrica, que tienen una masa comparable a la de los protones, por lo que los diferentes isótopos tienen diferente peso atómico. Carbon-12 es más ligero que el carbono-14.

Is infant circumcision ethically necessary?
Nostrana [21]
The answer is that infant circumcision is not ethically necessary. The reason to this is that there are no proof of evidence as to why it is ethically necessary for it to be done to an infant. It is also because other medical professionals thinks that doing circumcision in an infant will create issues in terms of their health, producing complications. That is why it is not ethically necessary for it to be done on an infant.
