Scientists can calculate the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons which can be found in the nucleus of the element's atoms. The atomic mass of an element is the product of protons plus neutrons. The number of neutrons is not always equal to the number of protons. By subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass, the difference will be how many neutrons are in the element's nucleus.
The isotopes of an element differ in the number or neutrons whereas the number of protons or electrons of a neutral atom stays the same. The molar mass of the element is based on the percent abundances of different isotopes and the individual molar mass of each isotope.

Hello there,
All compounds of carbon are made by <span>ionic bonding.
I Hope this helps.
