Carbon has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 6 neutrons because 12.011 is rounded to 12.000 so 12.000-6=6 so 6 neutrons.

Carbons atomic number is 6, therefore its atoms have 6 protons. If the atoms are neutral, they will also have 6 electrons. The number of neutrons varies with the isotope.

Protons 6, electrons 6.

AS WITH ANY ELEMENT, the number of neutrons varies, depending on the isotope. One fairly common isotope is carbon-12, which has 6 neutrons.
