C atom contains 6 protons. Atomic number is six.
carbon has six protons and six neutrons
Carbon is the element which has 6 protons in the nucleus.
Carbon
For any periodic element, its atomic number correlates directly with its number of protons. Thus, an element with an atomic number of six has six protons, with an atomic number of seven, seven protons, and so on.
Carbon
carbon dioxide has three atoms, one carbon with six protons and six neutrons, each oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. 6 + 8 + 8 = 22 protons
An atom with six protons in the nucleus is a carbon element.
Six. Carbon is element #6. Other carbon isotopes also have six protons.
When we consider charged particles, we are only concerned with protons and electrons. Neutrons have no charge, so they don't contribute to a positive or negative charge. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. They are both equally positive and negative, that is to say one proton cancels out the charge of one electron. So as long as there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, the particle will be neutral. If there are six protons, then there needs to be six electrons in order to be neutral.
No because the number of protons never changes or else the element changes.
six
atomic number = number of protons = 6
