The nuclei of four neutral atoms are represented using nuclide notation as shown in picture. Neutral atoms also contain electrons. State which of the four nuclei is surrounded by the greatest number of electrons. (Write down the answer like this: 12C6, 14C6, 14N7 or 15O8)

From these four nuclei, state the two nuclei that have the same number of protons:

(Write down the answer like this: 12C6, 14C6, 14N7 or 15O8 with the word 'and' in between)

From these four nuclei, state the two nuclei that have the same number of nucleons:

(Write down the answer like this: 12C6, 14C6, 14N7 or 15O8 with the word 'and' in between)

From these four nuclei, state the two nuclei that have the same number of neutrons:
