The atomic number of carbon is 6 and it has six electrons. The mass number of it is 41 and therefore it has 8 neutrons.
The isotope 14C has 8 neutrons.
The isotope 14C has in the nucleus 6 protons and 8 neutrons. The electron configuration is [He]2s22p2.
Carbon has 6 protons an 6 electrons (in a neutral state). The number of neutrons is: - for 12C: 6 neutrons - for 13C: 7 neutrons - for 14C: 8 neutrons For artificila isotopes: number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
a superscript designating the number of nucleons is placed before the chemical symbol. Nucleons are either protons or neutrons. Example: Carbon (C) has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-14 has 2 extra neutrons, and is designated 14C

Common Isotopes of Carbon are 12C (6 neutrons), 13C (7 neutrons), and 14C (8 neutrons).
They have different numbers of neutrons. Due to a difference in number of neutrons, they also have different masses. For example, take the element carbon. Carbon could have six neutrons (12C) or eight neutrons (14C). Both 14C and 12C are isotopes of carbon and therefore have different masses.
The number of neutrons is never directly displayed.For a given isotope of an element, the "top number" (e.g. 14C or carbon-14) is the atomic mass number, the total of neutrons and protons. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the isotopes atomic mass number. Here, 14C will have 8 neutrons.

Carbon has 6 protons an 6 electrons (in a neutral state). The number of neutrons is: - for 12C: 6 neutrons - for 13C: 7 neutrons - for 14C: 8 neutrons For artificila isotopes: number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
A carbon atom always contains six protons. In nature, carbon most commonly has six (12C, carbon-12), seven (13C, carbon-13) or eight (14C, carbon-14) neutrons. However, man-made isotopes of carbon contain as few as two neutrons (8C) or as many as sixteen (22C). Thirteen of the fifteen isotopes of Carbon (i.e. all except 12C and 13C) are radioactive. In addition to neutrons and protons, a carbon atom always has six electrons in orbits around the nucleus.
The number of protons plus the number of nutrons
C-14 The number 14 is the total number of protons and neutrons. Carbon is #6 in the periodic table because it has 6 protons . 14 - 6 = 8 neutrons. C-14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons
