No, carbon can not have 8 protons. The number of protons in an element can not vary. Carbon can only have 6 protons (the atomic number). If an element has 8 protons, it is oxygen.

How many protons does dioxide have?
carbon dioxide has three atoms, one carbon with six protons and six neutrons, each oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. 6 + 8 + 8 = 22 protons
How many protons neutrons and electrons in carbon-14?
Carbon 14 has 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and (in the neutral atom) 6 electrons.
Carbon 14 has 8 what?
Carbon-14, or radiocarbon, is a radioactive isotope of carbon with a nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
How many neutrons does carbon have if its mass number is 14?
6. Carbon's atomic number is 6, meaning it has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-14 has a mass number of 14, meaning it has extra neutrons, but no extra protons. So Carbon 14 still has 6 protons, and it has 8 (14-6) neutrons.
What is the atom with 8 neutrons and 6 protons?
carbon-14
How many electrons does carbon dioxide have?
carbon dioxide has three atoms, one carbon with six protons and six neutrons, each oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. 6 + 8 + 8 = 22 protons
How many protons does dioxide have?
carbon dioxide has three atoms, one carbon with six protons and six neutrons, each oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. 6 + 8 + 8 = 22 protons
How many protons neutrons and electrons in carbon-14?
Carbon 14 has 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and (in the neutral atom) 6 electrons.
How many neutrons does the isotope carbon-14 have?
carbon 14 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 8 neutrons.
How many protons and neutrons does carbon monoxide have?
Carbon = #6 in periodic table, so it contains 6 protons Oxygen = #8 in periodic table, so it contains 8 protons Carbonmonoxide consists of 1 carbon and 1 oxygen atom for a total of 14 protons in each CO molecule.
How many protons the carbonate ion have?
CO3 Carbon - 6 protons Oxygen - 8 protons 6 + (8*3) = 30 protons. Therefore carbonate ion has 30 protons.
Carbon 14 has 8 what?
Carbon-14, or radiocarbon, is a radioactive isotope of carbon with a nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
How many neutrons does carbon have if its mass number is 14?
6. Carbon's atomic number is 6, meaning it has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-14 has a mass number of 14, meaning it has extra neutrons, but no extra protons. So Carbon 14 still has 6 protons, and it has 8 (14-6) neutrons.
How many neutrons does an atom of carbon 14 have?
6 protons [because Carbon is number 6] 6 electrons [because if you want it to be neutral it has to be same as protons number] 8 neutrons [because atomic mass contains neutrons + protons. 14 - 6 = 8]
How many protons are found in carbon How many neutrons are found in carbon?
To be a carbon atom or ion, it must contain 6 protons. There may be either 6, 7 or 8 neutrons along with the protons in the nucleus.
What is the atom with 8 neutrons and 6 protons?
carbon-14
A carbon isotope having 6?
Protons and 8 neutrons
