I have this question in my homework but mine has a minus sign after the 2 so if urs does to then it is negative but if it doesnt then it is positive. it has 12 electrons because oxygen has 6 protons + 8 protons (carbon) = 14 -2 = 12 electrons
Protons and electrons have mass and charge.
A neutral carbon atom always contains 6 protons and 6 electrons. The number of neutrons can vary, but in the most common isotope, this number is also 6. Each electron carries an electrical charge of -1. Therefore, an ions of this isotope of carbon with a -3 charge contains 9 electrons, and the numbers of protons and neutrons remain the same as in the neutral atom.
Protons and electrons both have a positive or negative charge, but neutrons have no charge.
Protons and electrons have an electrical charge.
the protons have a +1 charge, the neutrons zero charge and the electrons -1 charge
Protons are always postive, neutrons are always neutral and electrons are always negative. Carbon has no charge because it has as many protons as it has electrons.
Because it is carbon, it automatically has 6 protons (remembering that it is the number of protons that becomes the basis for naming atoms). However, it's a little unclear based on the question as to what the number of electrons is in the system since no charge is given (remember: Charge No. = No. of protons - No. of Electrons). Assume a neutral atom, however, and you would have 6 electrons.
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
Protons and electrons have mass and charge.

the charge depends on the number of protons or electrons, if more electrons are there than protons there is a -1 charge, if there are more protons then electrons it is a +1 charge. Called Ions
+6 which is neutralized by the electrons outside the nucleus
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge

Every element has a set number of protons. Always. Electrons are determined by the charge on the atom. If it is positive, it has fewer electrons than protons; if it is negative, it has more electrons than protons. Isotopes are atoms with different numbers of neutrons. So, neutral carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 12 neutrons. Likewise, neutral carbon-14 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 14 neutrons. Carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes
Neutrons: no electrical charge Protons: positive charge Electrons: negative charge
Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge.
