How many protons neutron and electrons are in a carbon isootope?
Do not come to WikiAnswers to have your homework done for you. The number of protons and electrons can be found by the atomic number and the number of neutrons is a function of the atomic weight minus the atomic number.
What subatomic particle distinguishes atoms?
The most important is the proton; the number of protons is equal to the atomic number.
Why is the atomic number important?
The atomic number is the number of protons found in one atom of the given element. It is very important for many reasons. Firstly, the element itself depends on the number of protons (If you changed the number protons, then the element would change as well). Secondly, you can discover the amount of electrons using the atomic number (there are the same number of electrons in an element as the number protons, or the atomic number).
