The nucleus will probably instantly fission into three helium nuclei and a shower of six neutrons.

If two protons and two neutrons are added to the nucleus of a carbon atom what nucleus does it become?

The atomic number of carbon is 6. Therefore, carbon has 6 protons. If it gained two more protons, it would have 8 and would become oxygen.


What is the atom with 8 neutrons and 6 protons?

The atom with 8 neutrons and 6 protons would be carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon.


Atoms of the same element can differ in?

An atom is made of 3 key componants, proton, neutron and electron. Different amounts of protons in the atom make it a different element, e.g carbon 12 is an element with 12 protons AND neutrons, so 6 protons and 6 neutrons. So if a proton is added to an atom, it creates a different type of atom....but.....if another Neutron is added, for example, making carbon 12-->carbon 14 by adding 2 neutrons, this makes it an isotope of carbon, as carbon would normally be found as carbon 12. So an isotope is an atom with an unnatural amount of neutrons within it.
