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
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.
