1) A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. A carbon-12 atom has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons, making it stable. Carbon-14 has 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and 6 electrons, making it radioactive. 2) Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge, and electrons are negatively charged. 3) Salt water is not a compound because the ratio of water to sodium chloride can vary and they can be separated through evaporation rather than chemical means.
