Interactive periodic table showing names, electrons, and oxidation states. Visualize trends, 3D orbitals, isotopes, and mix compounds. Fully descriptive writeups.
Carbon (6 C) has 14 known isotopes, from 8 C to 20 C as well as 22 C, of which 12 C and 13 C are stable. The longest-lived radioisotope is 14 C, with a half-life of 5.70(3) × 10 3 years. This is also the only carbon radioisotope found in nature, as trace quantities are formed cosmogenically by the reaction 14 N + n → 14 C + 1 H. The most ...
This table shows information about naturally occuring isotopes, their atomic masses, their natural abundances, their nuclear spins, and their magnetic moments. Further data for radioisotopes (radioactive isotopes) of carbon are listed (including any which occur naturally) below. Isotope Mass / Da Natural abundance (atom %) Nuclear spin (I)
The two following tables list the most important data and properties of the Carbon isotopes. Further information on the individual Carbon isotopes is listed on separate pages and can be accessed via the link in column 1.
Isotopes of Carbon There are three naturally occurring isotopes of carbon, 12 C and 13 C (stable isotopes), while 14 C is a radionuclide, that have a half-life of about 5,730 years. Carbon-12 is the most abundant, with a natural abundance of 98.93.
Periodic Table of the Isotopes is being developed which highlights applications of isotopes (both stable and unstable) of each chemical element and their practical uses in science and everyday life. Some types of isotope applications include forensics, geochronology, earth-system science, environment and human health science,
