Question

question 1 (1 point)
how many neutrons does carbon have?
equation:
rounded atomic mass - protons = neutrons

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the rounded atomic mass

The atomic mass of Carbon is \(12.011\). Rounding it gives \(12\).

Step2: Identify the number of protons

From the periodic table, the atomic number of Carbon (\(C\)) is \(6\), which means the number of protons is \(6\).

Step3: Calculate the number of neutrons

Using the formula \(Rounded\ atomic\ mass - Protons=Neutrons\), substitute the values: \(12 - 6\).

Answer:

\(6\)
