First, I want to know about what is radiocarbon. Please explain.
Ritesh Singh said:   8 years ago
A radioactive isotope of carbon @Jyoti.
Rajs said:   8 years ago
But how does it get converted to carbon as it has 7 electrons before. Ejecting an electron shouldn't make it carbon?

What is radiocarbon, you are talking about?
Man said:   7 years ago
Just before the collision, mass number is 14, after the collision, if it absorbed the neutron then the mass number will be 15 and the atomic number will be 7, i.e 7N15. Which is unstable. It will release an electron and neutron and become 6c14. Am I right?
