This is not an atom, but a non-existing Carbon anion (-1, negatively charged)
Carbon has 6 protons and 6 electrons in its neutral state. The addition of one electron gives the carbon a net charge of -1.
mass num= atomic num + neutrons num
14-6=8
8 neutrons and 6 protons (atmic num = protons num)
A carbon atom has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons
It's called Carbon13 (the most common is C12). It's called an isotope, it's also an ion because of the 7 Electrons (usually has 6 - in every isotope version).

Mass number = 13, Atomic number = 6
This is an anion.
11 Carbon has atomic(proton) number 6. i.e it has 6 protons. There are three naturally occurring isotopes for carbon. They are C12 c13 and c14. among them c14 is radioactive. c12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. c13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons. c14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Similarly, c17 has 6 protons and 11 neutrons.
153 neutrons in the most stable isotope Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number. Atomic mass of the most stable isotope of Cf is 251. Atomic number of Cf is 98.
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Atomic number of the element; the atomic number of Lr is 103. Lawrencium has many isotopes and each isotope has a different number of neutrons.
Most carbon atoms have 6 neutrons, but a small fraction of them have 7 neutrons (to make carbon-13 isotope atoms) or 8 neutrons to make carbon-14 isotopes. Radioactive carbon atoms with other numbers of neutrons can be made in nuclear reactions.
There are 6 neutrons in carbon-12. Carbon-12 has an atomic number of 6, which indicates the number of protons in its nucleus. The sum of protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass of an element, so carbon-12 has a total of 12 nucleons. Subtracting the 6 protons gives the number of neutrons.
The isotope number and the atomic number can be used to calculate the number of neutrons. Consider carbon-14. The atomic number for carbon is 6 (i.e., the number of protons is 6). The isotope number of carbon-14 (i.e., 14 = protons + neutrons). Subtract the atomic number from the isotope number calculate the number of neutrons (8 for carbon-14).
12 - 6 = 6 neutrons; the number of neutrons in an isotope is always the mass number minus the atomic number.
Carbon has 6 protons. With carbon-12 (the most common isotope) there are 6 protons + 6 neutrons, which gives the atomic mass of 12.
11 Carbon has atomic(proton) number 6. i.e it has 6 protons. There are three naturally occurring isotopes for carbon. They are C12 c13 and c14. among them c14 is radioactive. c12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. c13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons. c14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Similarly, c17 has 6 protons and 11 neutrons.
The 12 in Carbon-12 designates the isotope which has an atomic mass of 12. This is the most abundant isotope of carbon. Carbon has an atomic number of 6, therefore it has 6 protons. Carbon 12, therefore has 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 is another isotope of carbon, still having 6 protons, but has 8 neutrons, so it has an atomic mass of (6 + 8 = 14). See related link for more information on carbon isotopes.
Carbon 14 has 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and (in the neutral atom) 6 electrons.
Atomic Mass (of an isotope) - number of protons (of an isotope) = number of neutrons (of an isotope)
153 neutrons in the most stable isotope Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number. Atomic mass of the most stable isotope of Cf is 251. Atomic number of Cf is 98.
Carbon 13 has 7 neutrons.The atomic mass represents the total number of protons and electrons. Carbon atoms have 6 protons. Therefore, the atomic mass being 13, it has 7 neutrons.
All isotopes of the same element differ only in the number of neutrons, not protons. As we are talking about carbon, all isotopes of carbon have 6 protons.There are 6 protons in C-12 isotope. Its atomic number is also 6.The number of neutrons is also 6.
The mass of any isotope is based on the mass of an isotope of carbon, which is assigned a mass of 12.
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. The mass number is equal to the total number of nucleons (both protons and neutrons). Therefore, there are 13 protons and neutrons, 6 of which are protons, leaving the remaining 7 to be neutrons. In short, 6 protons, 7 neutrons. You're referring to carbon-13, an uncommon isotope of carbon. Sharondenadel The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus.
