6 which is Carbon
Protons = Atomic Number Electrons = Atomic Number Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number *A note on Atomic Mass* Atomic Mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Every time you remove or add a Proton/Electron or a Neutron, you change the mass by one. *A note on Protons and Electrons* The number of Protons and Electrons in an atom is always the same. Whenever you talk about adding/removing a proton or an electron, you are by default adding/removing one of the other as well.
atomic # = protons atomic mass - atomic number = neutrons atomic # - charge = electrons
Atoms have equal numbers of protons and electrons.
Number of protons = atomic number = 6 atomic units Number of protons + neutrons = mass number = 13 atomic units
The atomic number correlates to the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic number also dictates the number of electrons that orbit the nucleus if the atom in neutral. Finally the atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons found in the nucleus. The atomic number equals the number of protons (p+) or electron (e-).
The number of protons gives the atomic number. The number of electrons are equal to the number protons unless the atom is ionized. The number of neutrons determines which isotope you have. Hope that helps
they work because in every atom there is a neutron, electron and proton. the electron will tell you what the atomic number is and the neutrons and protons will tell you what element it is.
yes
atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number
Atomic Mass minus atomic number. This is rather simplified but the atomic mass of an element is the total of all the protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom. Each proton and neutron has an atomic mass of approximately 1 AMU (atomic mass units) while an electron has an atomic mass of about 0.0005 AMU. So, you don't need to worry about the electrons. The atomic number of an element is simply the number of protons in the atom. So, atomic mass (number of protons and neutrons) minus atomic number (number of protons) equals number of neutrons in an atom.
Curium has 96 protons. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of the isotope The atomic number of curium is 96; for the isotopic masses of curium read at the link below.
Nope, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
