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]

An atom of carbon-14 contains how many protons?
All carbon atoms have 6 protons, which is why carbon's atomic number is 6. All neutral carbon atoms have 6 electrons. The number of neutrons in a carbon-14 atom is its mass number minus its atomic number, 14 - 6 = 8 neutrons.
How many neutrons does a carbon atom have with the mass number of 14 and an atomic number of 6 have?
Nitrogen is a non metal element. Atomic mass number of it is 14.
What atom of carbon 14 contains?
It contains 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and 6 electrons
How many proton and electrons and neutrons are there for carbon?
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.
How many neutrons does the isotope carbon-14 have?
carbon 14 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 8 neutrons.
What is the isotope name of an atom of carbon that has eight neutrons?
Carbon-14
How many neutrons doescarbon have?
Run of the mill carbon-12 atom has 6 protons, 6 neutrons. Isotopes will have varying amounts. Carbon-13 and carbon-14 have 7 and 8 neutrons.
What is the atom with 8 neutrons and 6 protons?
carbon-14
An atom of carbon-14 contains how many protons?
All carbon atoms have 6 protons, which is why carbon's atomic number is 6. All neutral carbon atoms have 6 electrons. The number of neutrons in a carbon-14 atom is its mass number minus its atomic number, 14 - 6 = 8 neutrons.
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 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 contain?
The position of Carbon on the periodic table tells you how many protons carbon has in its nucleus. The number after it tells you the total number of protons and neutrons. You can take the number after it and subtract its number on the periodic table and get the number of neutrons. For example: Helium is the second element in the periodic table. Helium 3 has two protons and one neutron. Helium 4 has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Since it is element number 2 it has two protons. Now try that with carbon.
How many neutrons are in a nitrogen-14 atom?
7 neutrons in Nitrogen 14
How many neutrons does a carbon atom have with the mass number of 14 and an atomic number of 6 have?
Nitrogen is a non metal element. Atomic mass number of it is 14.
Draw a label a picture of a carbon-12 atom and a carbon-14 atom What if your diagram should show electrons and their shells the nucleus protons and neutrons List the atomic number and atomic mass of e?
When you do the drawing; Carbon 12 has 6 neutrons whereas Carbon 14 has 8 neutrons. Other tan that they're identical.
How do carbon 12 and carbon 14 differ?
Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Carbon 12 is abundant in the environment, accounting for 98.89% of all carbon and is a stable isotope of carbon. Carbon 14 accounts for only about 1 trillionth of all of the carbon on Earth and is radioactive, with a half life of roughly 5700 years, which makes it good for use in dating fossils etc
What is the atomic number of b-14?
6, There are 6 protons In a normal atom of Carbon there would be 6 protons and 6 neutrons (C-12), but in a Carbon-14 atom there are still 6 protons but an additional 2 neutrons.
