Question #9a4ec

Answer 1

Surely it is `""^14C`?

Explanation:

YOu have not given us a list of istopes, but the isotopic distribution of carbon is given here..........

`""^12C` is about 98.9% abundant.........`""^13C` is approx. 1.1% abundant. This nucleus allows solution (and now solid-state) spectroscopy, and direct characterization of organic compounds...

There are trace quantities of the heavier isotope, `""^14C`....

How many neutrons does each isotope contain?
