12 - 6 = 6 neutrons; the number of neutrons in an isotope is always the mass number minus the atomic number.

What is the mass number of a carbon atom with 5 neutrons?
Carbon's atomic number is 6, therefore it has 6 protons in its atoms. Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, which is 6 + 5 = 11.
A(n) is described as a nucleus of protons and neutrons surrounded by an electron cloud.?
Atomic number is the equivalent of the number of protons in an atomic nucleus.
If you know the atomic number and the mass number of an isotope how could you figure out the number of neutrons in its nucleus?
The mass number is the total number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus. The atomic number is the total number of protons in the nucleus. So subtract the atomic number from the mass number and that will give you the total number of neutrons in the nucleus.
The atomic number is determined by?
The atomic mass is the can be determined by the number of protons in an atom. Remember that a proton has an atomic mas number of 1 AMU (atomic mass unit). (The total mass of an atom is the protons, neutrons and electrons combined.)
If an Atom has an atomic number of 12 What is the atomic number?
Atomic number depends on the number of protons and it doesn't matter how many neutrons there are in that case. Neutrons only contribute to the atomic weight. The atomic number is the same as any other atom of carbon: 6.
Where are the protons and neutrons found in an atom?
Protons and neutrons are normally found in the atomic nucleus.
Is nucleus made of protons and neutrons?
The atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons.
Are neutrons and protons found in the nucleus of a carbon atoms?
YES!!! There are three isotopes of Carbon . they are ;- Carbon-12 ( C-12 /12C) 6 protons, 6 neutrons (total 6+6 = 12) Carbon-13 (C-13/13C) 6 protons , 7 neutrons ( ( total 6 + 7=13). Carbon-14(C-14/14C) 6 protons , 8 neutrons ( ( total 6 + 8=14). Notice #1, the number of PROTONS remains the same. The number of NEUTRONS alters with each isotope. #2 ; C-13 is used in Carbon-13 nmr spectra. C-14 is used in radio dating of very ancient rocks and artifacts. In all cases the protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of the atom.
Which subatomic particles are located in the nucleus of a carbon atom?
Atomic nucleus contain neutrons and protons; and both contain quarks and gluons.
Where are protons and neutrons in a atom?
The protons and neutrons are to be found in the atomic nucleus.
Where do you put the protons and neutrons'?
Protons and neutrons are components of the atomic nucleus.
What do the protons and neutrons form?
Atomic nucleus is formed from protons and neutrons.
What do you get when you combine neutrons and protons?
When you combine neutrons and protons you get an atomic nucleus.
How many protons in the carbon atom?
6 protons 6 neutrons 6 electrons 4 valence electrons
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.
The atomic number of carbon is 6 Its nucleus MUST contain?
6 protons 6 neutrons
What is found inside an atomic nucleus?
Physicists believe that there is a cluster of Protons and Neutrons within an Atom's nucleus.
