In the element key for Carbon, 6 is the atomic number (number of protons) C is the symbol 12.011 is the atomic mass (average mass of all the isotopes) Isotope (different forms of the same element) The isotopes of carbon can have mass numbers of 12, 13, or 14 (looking at the atomic mass – which do you think occurs most frequently in nature?)
ATOMIC MASS/WEIGHT and MASS NUMBER Isotopes Atomic Mass: 12.0107 amu URANIUM: U238.02u U-235 U-238 Key Isotopes nuclide 12C 13C 14C atomic mass 12.000 13.003 14.003 natural abundance 98.90% 1.10% trace half-life stable stable 5730 yrs
U-235, when bombarded by neutrons, fissions or splits into two smaller nuclei and releases energy and starts a nuclear chain reaction.
