∙ 9y agoThis is Carbon-12 (12C) it has a mass of exactly 12 universal Atomic Mass units. It serves as the standard for the universal atomic mass scale.
If you look up carbon on the Periodic Table, you will find that it says 12.011. This difference is because a small amount of carbon has a seventh neutron, which is averaged into the atomic weight given on a periodic table.

So the atom is neutral, if an atom had more protons than electrons, then the atom would have a positive charge, and if it had more electrons, then it would have a negative charge,if atoms had a charge, we would get shocked every time we touch something
In any atom,there are protons, neutrons and electrons. As the name would suggest, neutrons carry no charge. Protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. So in an atom that has no charge there has to be an equal number of protons and electrons.
An atom in which the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons is considered to be electrically neutral. This balance between positive protons and negative electrons results in no overall charge on the atom.
Zero, the atom would be electrostatically neutral.. the 6 positive charges of the protons are cancelled out by the 6 negatives of the electrons
An atom with more electrons than protons is called an anion. This creates a negative charge in the atom due to the excess electrons.
The atom in a normal state would have two protons to match the two electrons, making the overall charge zero. If the atom is an ion, it would have an mismatched number of protons and electrons, giving it a positive or negative overall charge.
A neutral atom of cadmium would have 48 electrons. This is because the number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, and cadmium has 48 protons.
A neutral atom with 12 protons will have 12 electrons in order to balance the positive charge from the protons.
So the atom is neutral, if an atom had more protons than electrons, then the atom would have a positive charge, and if it had more electrons, then it would have a negative charge,if atoms had a charge, we would get shocked every time we touch something
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. Therefore, in an element with an atomic number of 30 (such as zinc), the atom would have 30 protons and 30 electrons.
In any atom,there are protons, neutrons and electrons. As the name would suggest, neutrons carry no charge. Protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. So in an atom that has no charge there has to be an equal number of protons and electrons.
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So, in an atom with three protons, it would contain three electrons. The number of neutrons does not affect the charge or number of electrons in the atom.
Electrons carry a negative charge and protons carry a positive charge. Therefore, if an atom is to be neutral it must have equal numbers of protons and neutrons. Consequently, if an atom has 19 protons and is neutral it must have 19 electrons.
That atom is Arsenic. It would have 33 electrons.
The number of protons can not be changed in an atom, while the number of electrons can be.
Electrons, Protons, and Neutrons.
If there are 8 protons in an atom, the number of electrons will also be 8 in a neutral atom. Electrons have a negative charge and balance out the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus to keep the atom electrically neutral.
