neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons, atomic number is the number is the amount of protons, Atomic Mass is the average mass of one mole of atoms. each particle wieghing one amu (atomic mass unit)

What atom has atomic number of 6?
carbon has atomic number 6. It has 6 protons.
What is the ratio of the number of oxygen atoms to carbon atoms in the carbon monoxide molecule?
1:1, carbon monoxide is one carbon atom and one oxygen atom.
What is the number of protons in this carbon atom?
For any Carbon atom, irrespective of its isotopic mass , there are 6(six) protons.
What is the one thing that determines the identity of an atom that is whether it is an oxygen atom or a carbon atom?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines its identity as a particular element. The number of protons is the element's atomic number, and is unique to each element. For example, the atomic number of oxygen is 8, while the atomic number of carbon is 6.
An atom that differs in the number of neutrons but has the same number of protons?
isotope
Strontium atom differs from a Strontium ion in that the atom has a greater?
Charge

one gram of carbon* Avogdo's number =number of atom (many atom) one atom of carbon mean carbon have a 6 electron and 12 molar mass
Term for an atom that has the same atomic number as another atom but differs in atomic weight?
This is the definition of an "isotope".
What is an atom of same elements that differs in the number of neutrons compared to other atoms of the element?
the atom is an isotope
What is an Atom of an element that differs in number of neutrons compared with other atoms of same element?
This atom is called isotope.
How many electron are in a carbon atom?
An electrically neutral carbon atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons: 6, which is equal to its atomic number.
Why the life on the Earth is carbon based?
One carbon atom can be attached to other carbon atom. By this unique property of carbon, that you can get very large number of molecules. No other atom has got this property. So life without the carbon atom is not possible.
What is the number electrons in carbon?
A neutral carbon atom has 6 electrons.
What is the oxidation number of carbon-atom in diamond?
zero for carbon in diamond
Number of protons in a carbon atom?
6
A carbon atom of mass number 12 and a carbon atom of mass number 14 are?
Isotopes. Iso = same, as in the # of protons. Radioisotope is more accurate.
