Brayan · Answer 1

Yes they all are carbon isotopes

Zayne Edwards · Answer 2

Yes, they are isotopes.

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number Z and a different mass number (A). That is, they differ in the number of neutrons (eg carbon 12, has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 6 neutrons, carbon 13, 7 neutrons, and carbon 14 8 neutrons).
