I would say 6 because C-12 has 6 protons, and the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This is a rare exception when the protons, neutrons, and electrons are all the same number-6.

In the nucleus? There are never electrons in the nucleus, so 0.

If you mean in the atom, then there would be 6 - just the same as the # of protons.
