The atomic mass of a carbon isotope that has 6 protons and 7 neutrons is<u> </u><u>13</u>
Explanation:
Remember that whilst the atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, the mass number represents the summation of protons and neutrons particles in the atomic nuclei. Therefore, in this case, the carbon will have a mass number of;
6 + 7 = 13
Isotopes of an element usually have the same atomic number but different mass numbers -because they have slightly different numbers of neutrons. An example is isotopes of Carbon; C-14 and C-12
The atomic mass of an element is the number of times of an atom of that element is heavier than an atom of carbon taken as 12. In simpler way, atomic mass is number of protons present in nucleus of an atom, which is a characteristic of an chemical element and is determines place of the element in the periodic table. Mass number is total number of protons and neutrons. If an uncharged atom looses electron from its outermost shell, it becomes cation, which is positively charged species. Atomic number and mass number do not change if electron goes out of an atom.
Uncharged copper after loosing two electrons is converted to 
which can be represented as follows:
→
Answer:
First, balance the half-reactions
Second, equalize the electrons
Third,add two reaction equations to get final answer
Explanation:
For example
H₂C₂0₄ + MnO⁻₄ ---------->CO₂+Mn²⁺
(i) Balancing the half reactions
H₂C₂O₄-------->2CO₂+2H⁺+2e⁻
5e⁻ +8H⁺+MnO₄⁻----------->Mn²⁺+4H₂O
(ii)
Equalizing the electrons
5H₂C₂O₄--------->10CO₂+10H⁺+10e⁻ ---here there is a factor of 5
10e⁻+16H⁺+2MnO₄⁻--------->2Mn²⁺+8H₂O -----here there is a factor of 2
(iii)
Add the two where electrons and some Hydrogen ions will cancel out
5H₂C₂O₄+6H⁺+2MnO₄⁻---->10CO₂+2Mn²⁺+8H₂O
