6
there is the same number of electrons ans protons. and the proton number is 6. so you have 6 electrons.
Carbon has 6 protons and 6 electrons.Sulphur has 16 protons and 16 electrons.
Carbon has 6 protons, and it will have 6 electrons in a neutral atom, one for each proton. See link below.
3 protons and 2 electrons.
1,000,002 proton/electrons 738 neutrons
if its not an ion it has 6
There is no specific number of electrons that a proton can attract. For example, in a neutral atom; a proton attracts nearly one electron and there is a higher attraction in anions and lesser number in cations.
Electrons do not fit inside a proton or neutron. Electrons move around the nucleus where the protons and electrons are, and the mount of electrons depends on the atom. For a neutral atom the number of electrons = the number of protons. If that does not hold true the atom will receive a (+) or (-) charge. It will be a (+) if it is missing one electron and a (-) if it has an extra electron. To the guy who wrote that, the question was asking (in size) how many electrons could fit inside a proton relative to its size. The answer is about 1/1836 electrons could fit inside a proton.
Carbon has 4 outermost electrons.
It would take about 1836 electrons to equal the mass of 1 proton. This is because the mass of an electron is much smaller than that of a proton.
electrons are a 2000th of the mass of a proton/neutron. Because of this very low mass, electrons dont affect the mass number of elements on the periodic table
A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons.
