How many protons and eletrons does carbon have?
count the number of protons which will be equal to number of electron.
What has 6 protons and a mass number of 14?
Carbon isotope.
How many protons are there in the c-12?
All isotopes of the same element differ only in the number of neutrons, not protons. As we are talking about carbon, all isotopes of carbon have 6 protons.There are 6 protons in C-12 isotope. Its atomic number is also 6.The number of neutrons is also 6.
What is the same as the number of protons in its nucleus?
The number of protons in an atomic nucleus can change by several different mechanisms. Let's look at each one and see what happens.In an atom with "too many" protons in its nucleus, that unstable atom can undergo what is called beta decay. There are two types of beta decay, and the one that could happen here goes by the name beta plus decay. In beta plus decay, a proton in the nucleus of that unstable atom transforms into a neutron. A positron and an antineutrino will be ejected from the nucleus, and the number of protons will have gone down by one. If you guessed that nuclear transmutation has just occurred where one element has transformed into another one, you'd be correct.In some other unstable atoms with "too many" protons in the nucleus, that nucleus could under an electron capture event. In electron capture, the nucleus "pulls in" a nearby electron from one of the inner shells of the atom, and that electron "combines" with a proton to become a neutron. Again, the number of protons in the nucleus goes down by one, and nuclear transmutation has occurred.Lastly, it is possible to bombard atomic nuclei with particles and "knock" protons out of a nucleus that is "hit" by the bombarding particles. There are a few different activities that are carried out in nuclear physics labs to do this, but we'll leave it here for now. Just keep in mind that beta plus decay and electron capture are the two primary methods that unstable nuclei undergo when they change the number of protons they have.

What is the atomic mass for the element carbon is 12.011?
the atomic mass of just pure carbon would be twelve. the atomic mass is only effected by the number of protons and numbers of nuetrons
What would happened to a stable nucleus in which the number of neutrons suddenly decreased?
The nucleus would become unstable because you need a certain amount of neutrons, electrons, and protons for it to be stable.
How many protons are in a element carbon 6c?
Carbon has 6 protons. This is because the atomic number of carbon is 6, which represents the number of protons in the nucleus of a carbon atom.
Can carbon have 8 protons?
No, carbon can not have 8 protons. The number of protons in an element can not vary. Carbon can only have 6 protons (the atomic number). If an element has 8 protons, it is oxygen.
What are the key differences between stable and unstable nuclei?
Stable nuclei have a balanced number of protons and neutrons, while unstable nuclei have an imbalance. Unstable nuclei undergo radioactive decay to become more stable.
What is the number of protons in carbon-12?
There are 6 protons in carbon-12 .
If an atom has six protons and four neutrons what is its?
It's an isotope of Carbon, specifically Carbon-4. An atom in its neutral state will have equal numbers of protons and neutrons. The number of protons is also called the atomic number, and makes the specific atom what it is. (Carbon always has 6 protons, 5 protons is Boron and 7 protons is Nitrogen.) If there is an unequal number of neutrons, it usually indicates an isotope, an atom that isn't in the natural, most commonly occurring ground state. In this instance, it is Carbon-4. (Carbon-4, also called C-4 is a common explosive because of it's unstable nature.)
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.
If two protons and two neutrons are added to the nucleus of a carbon atom what nucleus does it become?
The atomic number of carbon is 6. Therefore, carbon has 6 protons. If it gained two more protons, it would have 8 and would become oxygen.
Does the number of protons of carbon ever change?
No, the number of protons in an atom of a specific element like carbon does not change. Carbon always has 6 protons.
What does Radioactive carbon and stable carbon have in common?
Radioactive Carbon and stable Carbon both have the same number of protons and electrons. This means they both behave "chemically" the same way. For example, you can just as easily have Carbon Dioxide made from radioactive Carbon as stable Carbon.
How many protons in a carbon-13?
The number of protons that an atom has is given by its atomic number. Looking at a periodic table, we see that carbon's atomic number is 6. Therefore, carbon has 6 protons.
What is is the atomic number for carbon?
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the element. Carbon has 6 protons and therefore has an atomic number of 6
