Aparticular carbon isotope has an atomic number of 6 and an atomic mass of 14. the respective number of neutrons, protons, and electrons that this carbon isotope has is

8 neutrons, 6 protons and 6 electrons

Explanation:

Isotopes are elements which have same atomic number but different mass number.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an electrically neutral atom.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons = 6

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 14

Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 14

6 + Number of neutrons = 14

Number of neutrons = 8

Thus there are 8 neutrons, 6 protons and 6 electrons in carbon isotope.
