Each carbon atom (atom number 6) has 6 protons (in nucleus) and 6 electrons (orbited around), the number of neutrons (also in nucleus) may vary from 6 or (less common) 7 or (rarely) 8.

Do electrons prefer to be in their ground state?
Every subatomic particle, atom, molecule, lattice, structure, etc. "prefers" to be in its ground state, although they often settle for the lowest energy state available.
Are protons molecules?
It's the other way around. Molecules are made out of atoms, and atoms are made out of protons, nuetrons and electrons Protons do not contain molecules. Protons, neutrons, and electrons make up atoms which make up molecules. Protons contain what are known as quarks, quarks are tiny particles that contain partial charges.
What is alpha carbon?
The carbon atom to which four groups are attached either same or different.So every chiral carbon is alpha but every alpha is not a chiral carbon.
Is there gravity near the sun?
There is gravity everywhere, all the time. Every particle of mass is gravitationally attracted to every other particle of mass, all the time, everywhere, right now.
What is the charge on every atom and why?
0 because an atom is not a charged particle (with the mix of protons which are positive, and neutrons which are neutral . If it was a charged particle, then it would be an ion.
Does CaCl2 contain energy?
Yes, every single subatomic particle contains energy, E=mc2. This has been demonstrated by the generation of particle/anti-particle pairs in particle accelerators.
What is an example of a subatomic particle explain?
Neutron: Mass: 1,00866491600(43) amu. Charge: neutral Electron: Mass: 5,4857990946(22)×10−4 amu. Charge: negative Proton: Mass: 1,007276466812(90) amu. Charge: positive
How do you call a subatomic particle that has no mass and a negative charge?
No such particle exists. All particles with charge also have mass -- no exceptions. Every particle with zero mass also has zero charge -- no exceptions.
How are an Ion and electron different?
an electron is a subatomic particle which every atom has. an ion is a charged particle (Ca2+ or Na+) It has one or more electrons than the number of protons...
Which subatomic particle causes the masses to be different?
Every subatomic particle has mass, so every particle will cause a slight mass change. However, in an isotope, the mass change between the parent and daughter is caused by a change in the number of neutrons.
What are protons and where are they found?
Protons are a type of subatomic particle, which are found in the nucleus of every atom. Protons have an electrical charge of +1. A proton is about 2000 times heavier than an electron.
How many things are there in the universe?
The question is way too imprecise. You should clarify what you mean by "things" - if you want to include every subatomic particle, then the amount of "things" is large indeed.
Do electrons prefer to be in their ground state?
Every subatomic particle, atom, molecule, lattice, structure, etc. "prefers" to be in its ground state, although they often settle for the lowest energy state available.
How can be energy converted into mass?
One way uses particle colliders. Some of the energy of high velocity subatomic particles in the collisions creates new particles.
Are atoms subatomic?
Not sure what you mean by "edible," but, if you mean, "Would there be any harm if someone swallowed a sub-atomic particle?", then be aware that every piece of food you have ever eaten is composed of sub-atomic particles.

What subatomic particle makes an element unique?
The number of protons is unique for every element.Varying the number of neutrons will give you an isotope of the same element.Varying the number of electrons will give you an ion of the same element.
