Question

Which option is an isotope with 6 protons and 8 neutrons? (1 point)
Responses

carbon-8
carbon-8

carbon-14
carbon-14

oxygen-14
oxygen-14

oxygen-6

Answer 1

The correct option is **carbon-14**.

Here’s the reasoning:
- Protons determine the element, and since there are 6 protons, the element is carbon.
- The number of neutrons is 8.

The mass number (protons + neutrons) for this isotope would be 6 protons + 8 neutrons = 14.

Therefore, the isotope with 6 protons and 8 neutrons is carbon-14.
