Carbon is a non metal element. Atomic Mass of it is 12.
The Atomic mass Is 12
The Atomic Mass unit is 1/12 from the atomic mass of the isotope carbon-12, in steady state.
Atomic number 6, atomic mass 12.
The atomic mass of carbon-12 is defined as 12 atomic mass units (amu). This corresponds to the mass of a single carbon-12 atom relative to 1/12th of the mass of a carbon-12 nucleus.
The atomic mass unit (amu) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights. It is approximately equal to the mass of a proton or neutron, and is defined as 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
The expression atomic mass is used only for isotopes; the atomic mass is the mass of an atom expressed in unified atomic mass units - (1 amu = 1/12 atomic mass of carbon-12).For elements the expression is atomic weight; the unit is the same.
Carbon has an average atomic mass of about 12.
The atomic number of any carbon isotope is 6, the number of protons in the nucleus of any carbon atom, irrespective of its mass number.
The atomic mass of an atom with 11 protons and 12 neutrons is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons together. In this case, the atomic mass would be 11 (protons) + 12 (neutrons) = 23 atomic mass units.
Carbon has 6 protons. With carbon-12 (the most common isotope) there are 6 protons + 6 neutrons, which gives the atomic mass of 12.
12. The number 12 refers to the atomic mass. More precisely, to the sum of neutrons + protons; but this is usually close to the atomic mass. In the case of carbon-12, it is exact, by definition.
An atom of carbon-12 has a mass of exactly 12 atomic mass units. This is now the standard.
