Question
- weve looked at two different isotopes of carbon, carbon-12 and carbon-14. these isotopes have different mass numbers. locate carbon on a periodic table. determine if the mass number for the carbon-14 isotope is found on the periodic table. i need a hint yes, the mass number is found on the periodic table. no, the mass number is not found on the periodic table. 0 / 1 submissions used
Brief Explanations
The periodic table lists the atomic mass (average of all isotopes' masses) for an element, not the mass number of a specific isotope like carbon - 14. Carbon - 14 is a specific isotope, and its mass number (14) is not the value shown on the periodic table (which is the atomic mass, around 12.01 for carbon, an average of carbon - 12, carbon - 13, etc.). So the mass number of carbon - 14 is not found on the periodic table.
