Which answer choice best explains why atoms of carbon-14 (C-14) are unstable? A-Atoms of C-14 have too many negatively charged electrons and too few positively charged protons.
B-Atoms of C-14 have too many positively charged protons and too few negatively charged electrons.
C-There are 2 more protons than neutrons in the nucleus.
D-There are 2 more neutrons than protons in the nucleus.

just did the assignment and the answer was #1 +2 n

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
