If the atomic number of an element is 6 and its mass number is 14, how many neutrons are contained in the nucleus?
A. 20
B. 6
C. 14
To find the number of neutrons in an atom, you can use the formula:
[
text{Number of Neutrons} = text{Mass Number} – text{Atomic Number}
]
In this case, the atomic number is 6 and the mass number is 14.
[
text{Number of Neutrons} = 14 – 6 = 8
]
Since 8 is not one of the answer choices provided, it appears there may be a discrepancy.
However, the correct number of neutrons is 8. If you have further questions or need clarification, feel free to ask! Check the extended services page for more in-depth assistance.
