It would likely have 6 neutrons which means it would have a mass of 12, hence Carbon-12, the most abundant isotope of C. If it had 8 neutrons (Carbon-14), it would be unstable and would decay by negative beta decay to stable Nitrogen-14, the most abundant isotope of N which has 7 protons and 7 neutons for a mass of 14.

What two particles are in the nucleus?
(The constituent particles of an atom are the electron, the proton and the neutron; all three are fermions. However, the hydrogen-1 atom has no neutrons and the hydron ion has no electrons.) WIkipedia
The small central part of an atom?
The "dense" central portion of an atom is called the nucleus. The nucleus of an atom contains neutrons and protons.
Make up of an atom?
An atom is made up of three parts. The protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are located in the center of the atom called the nucleus. The electrons float around the atom in what is called orbitals.
What are the charges of each part of an atom?
The nucleus of the atom has a positive charge because the protons that found in the nucleus are positive and the neutrons have no charge. The electrons on the electron cloud have a negative charge. This means the entire atom has a neutral charge to it. The atom always has the same number of protons and electrons, which means they cancel their charges out.
What makes an atom?
an atom has two subatomic particles which are neutrons and protons in the nucleus or "center" and electrons surrounding the nucleus in orbitals, "orbit like" regions of space outside the nucleus.
Where are protons and neutrins located?
Protons and Neutrons compose the nucleus of the atom. They are surrounded by a cloud of electrons. If our universe was an atom, the sun would be the nucleus (with protons and neutrons) and the orbiting planets would be the electrons.
What atom particles would be found in a nucleus of an atom?
Electrons, Protons, and Neutrons.
What three major parts of a atom?
Protons: Positively charged particles located in the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons: Neutral particles located in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons: Negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus of an atom.
Are the electrons of an atom found in the nucleus along with the protons?
Electrons are never found in the nucleus of an atom, along with the protons. They exist in shells that surround the nucleus.
Where are the protons neutrons and electron located in the atom?
Protons and neutrons are located within the nucleus. Electrons are revolving around the nucleus.
Where is the subatomic particles located?
Subatomic particles, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons, are located within the atoms that make up all matter. Protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in energy levels.
Are protons and electrons both found in the nucleus of a chlorine atom?
No, protons are found in the nucleus of a chlorine atom, while electrons are located outside the nucleus in electron shells. Chlorine has 17 protons in its nucleus, but the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons to maintain overall charge neutrality.
What is an atom compromise of?
An Atom is composed of Electrons,Protons,and Neutrons.
What is the location of electrons protons and neutrons?
Electrons -- in energy levels outside the nucleus. Protons in the nucleus. Neutrons in the nucleus.
Where are protons neutrons and electrons located?
Protons, neutrons and electrons are located in the atom. The protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus; the electrons are around the nucleus, arranged in shells.
Within an atom protons and neutrons are found in the?
Protons are found in nucleus, as neutrons are also.
Where is each subatomic particle located in a atom?
electron - electron cloud protons and neutron- nucleus
