6 of each in a neutral (non-ion) atom.
The carbon atom contains 6 protons. The number of electrons in any element can vary. These atoms are called ions, where the atoms may lose or gain electrons.
Carbon has by definition 6 protons. However, its many isotopes can have anywhere from 2 neutrons to 16 neutrons, with 6 neutrons being the most common (~95% of all carbon).
Since the element carbon has 6 protons, and the element oxygen has 8 protons, and CO2 consists of one carbon and two oxygen atoms, you therefore have 6 + 16 = 22 protons in CO2 and the same number of electrons.
The number of electrons is most normally going to be the same amount of protons.
To figure out how many electrons and protons there are,
look at a Periodic Table. The periodic table will tell you what number it is in the list, which gives you the number of electrons and protons.
Carbon is 6th on the periodic table, therefore it has 6 electrons and protons.
There are 6 electrons and 6 protons. Sometimes is the same as atomic number.
The atomic number of carbon is 6. So there are 6 protons and 6 electrons in carbon.
Protons=6
Neutrons=6
Electrons=6

For the isotope carbon-12: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
carbon 14 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 8 neutrons.
There would be 6 protons and 5 neutrons. Such isotope does not exist though.
18 protons 18 electrons 22 neutrons
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]
6 electrons, protons, and neutrons.
Protons are always postive, neutrons are always neutral and electrons are always negative. Carbon has no charge because it has as many protons as it has electrons.
For the isotope carbon-12: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
protons: 6 electrons: 12 neutrons: 6
6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 protons in carbon-12 atom
Carbon 14 has 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and (in the neutral atom) 6 electrons.
The isotope carbon-16 has 6 protons and electrons and 10 neutrons.
carbon 14 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 8 neutrons.
There would be 6 protons and 5 neutrons. Such isotope does not exist though.
18 protons 18 electrons 22 neutrons
Carbon-3 doesn't exist.
A carbon atom has 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons
