YES!!!

There are three isotopes of Carbon . they are ;-

Carbon-12 ( C-12 /12C) 6 protons, 6 neutrons (total 6+6 = 12)

Carbon-13 (C-13/13C) 6 protons , 7 neutrons ( ( total 6 + 7=13).

Carbon-14(C-14/14C) 6 protons , 8 neutrons ( ( total 6 + 8=14).

Notice #1, the number of PROTONS remains the same. The number of NEUTRONS alters with each isotope.

#2 ; C-13 is used in Carbon-13 nmr spectra.

C-14 is used in radio dating of very ancient rocks and artifacts.

In all cases the protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of the atom.

What are carbon and oxygen atoms made up of?

Carbon atoms are made up of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. Oxygen atoms also have a nucleus with protons and neutrons, but they have a different number of electrons which determine their chemical properties and behavior.


Nucleus of carbon atom?

Nucleus of the standard isotope of carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 neutrons (carbon 12). Other Isotopes of carbon atoms are also possible, such as C14, which has 8 neutrons, and decays by beta particle emission into nitrogen.


Of what are atoms composed?

Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in energy levels.

Do All carbon atoms have exactly 6 protons?

The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom defines the element. An atom which as 6 protons will be Carbon. The atomic weight of an element depends upon not only the proton but also the neutrons in the nucleus. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. There are three isotopes of carbon: carbon 12 (with 6 neutrons) and carbon 13 (with 7 neutrons) are stable, and carbon 14 (with 8 neutrons) is slightly radioactive and decays by emitting neutrons to carbon 12.


What are the particles found in the nucleus of all atoms?

Protons which are positively charged and neutrons which are neutral.


Most atoms are composed of electrons protons and neutrons. Which particles are found in the nucleus of a gold atom?

Not just "most" atoms , but all atoms are composed of protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus, and electrons surrounding the nucleus in the electron cloud. And these atoms include gold.
