The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons. Therefore, you can conclude that carbon contains 6 protons and 6 electrons.

What atom has atomic number of 6?
carbon has atomic number 6. It has 6 protons.
How many electrons will carbon have in its first energy level?
carbon has 2 electrons in its first energy level and 4 in its secound energy level because carbons atomic number is 6. 4+2=6.

Carbons atomic number is 6 what are the number of protons in carbon?
The atomic number is the number of protons found in an atom's nucleus, so the number of protons in carbon is six.
How many protons in carbons?
6 protons 6 neutrons 6 electrons 4 valence electrons
Carbons atomic number protons neutrons and electrons?
Carbon's atomic number is 6, which is the same as the number of protons and the number of the electrons. Most carbon atoms have 6 neutrons as well through some have 7 or 8.
How many carbons does glucose have?

Explain the process of how you can find the number of neutrons for an atom?
All atoms on the periodic table are assumed to be neutral. This means that they will have an equal number of protons and neutrons. EXAMPLE: carbons atomic number is 6 because it has 6 protons. If it is neutral it will also have 6 neutrons. That is why you see carbons atomic weight is 12 on the periodic table. 6 protons+6neutrons=12. Howevever you could come across carbon 14, this would be called an isotope of carbon. The number of protons in an atom can not change because the number of protons are what make an element what it is. Meaning all carbon atoms will always have 6 protons no matter how many neutrons they have. So, if you have carbon 14, and ALL carbon has 6 protons then carbon 14 has 8 neutrons.
What is the atomic number for carbon 14?
Atomic number is 6 and the number of neutrons is 8
