A neutral carbon atom has 6 electrons.
Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the valence shell.
A carbon-12 atom has 6 electrons. The atomic number of carbon is 6, which determines the number of electrons in a neutral carbon atom.
6 electrons
Carbon has 6 electrons. You can tell because its atomic number is 6, and atomic number is the number of protons. In a neutral atom, the numbers of protons and electrons are equal.
Take carbon as an example.Carbon, indicated by it's atomic number, has 6 electrons. The number at the top of carbon's group is the number of valance electrons. Carbon has 4 valance elections.6 total electrons - 4 valance electrons= 2 core electrons in carbon=====================(try another element yourself to see this process )
there are 12 electrons in carbon. you can find this out by looking at the "ATOMIC NUMBER"
4 electrons
Carbon has an atomic number of 6 or 6 electrons. This is an isotope which means it has the same electrons. It is in group 14 so it has 4 valence electrons.
Carbon has 6 protons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, which is why carbon, with 6 electrons, also has 6 protons. This is what defines it as the element carbon on the periodic table.
Carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. The number of protons determines the element (carbon), the number of neutrons plus protons gives the mass number (12), and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
16 is the total number of electrons shown in the Lewis Structure of Carbon Dioxide.
