Carbon+
Boron is an atom or element, and it contains protons, electrons, and neutrons.
The isotope boron-11 has 5 protons and 6 neutrons, but also 5 electrons not 8.
6 electrons and 6 protons
6 protons and 6 electrons
Neutrons do not affect the neutrality (or charge) of an atom; protons and electrons do. In order to be neutral, the number of protons must be the same as the number of electrons.
Carbon has 6 protons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, which is why carbon, with 6 electrons, also has 6 protons. This is what defines it as the element carbon on the periodic table.
The basic Carbon atom has six protons and six electrons
Only carbon has 6 protons. Specifically, this is a neutral atom of the isotope 12C.
Carbon
Boron 10: 5 protons, 5 neutrons, 5 electrons Boron 11: 5 protons, 6 neutrons, 5 electrons
That depends on the number of protons. It also depends whether the atom has gained or lost electrons to form an ion. Carbon is element number 6; it has 6 protons and 6 electrons. Lead is element number 82; it has 82 protons and 82 electrons.
Disregard the electrons, as their relative mass is insignificant to that of protons and neutrons. To find atomic mass, add the numbers of protons and neutrons: 5 + 6 = 11 is the mass number.
