Carbon-12 is the more abundant of the two stable isotopes of the element carbon.

Carbon-13 is a natural, stable isotope of carbon and one of the environmental isotopes. It makes up about 1.109% of all natural carbon on Earth.

Elements that have the same chemical characteristics, but different atomic weights are called isotopes. C13 and 12 are carbon isotopes; they have the same chemical characteristics because they have the same number of protons and, therefore, electrons. The electrons determine the chemical characteristics of any element (atom).

I'm totally guessing.....carbon isotopes???

YEA!! I was right. How about carbon 14, which is used to determine the approximate age of ancient pieces of wood, bone, plants?
Or THE ISOTOPES.. Homer Simpson's favorite ball team?

isotopes

Isotopes are any of the several different forms of an element each having different atomic mass (mass number). Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same number of protons (the same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons.

Diatomic molecules in a non-polar covalent bond. This is because these elements can't exist as a gas without appearing in diatomic bonds.

I guess you are aiming at: Isotopes.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons.
