Question

which option is an isotope with 6 protons and 8 neutrons? (1 point)
carbon - 14
oxygen - 14
oxygen - 6
carbon - 8

Explanation:

The atomic number (number of protons) determines the element. Carbon has an atomic number of 6. The mass - number is the sum of protons and neutrons. For an isotope with 6 protons and 8 neutrons, the mass - number is 6 + 8=14. So it is carbon - 14.

Answer:

carbon - 14
