If you have a look at your Periodic Table you will see that the elements are arranged horrizontally from element number 1 to 118. Element 1, Hydrogen, has 1 proton and 1 electron. Element 6, carbon, has 6 protons and 6 electrons.
This number is called the atomic number, and is equal to the number of protons in an atom.
The pair below that describes isotopes of the same element is B, an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons-an atom with 6 protons. It is not A, an atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons- an atom with 8 protons and 6 neutrons. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, which is the atomic number of the element.
That would depend on how many protons exist in the nucleus of the atom. An atom with 6 protons is a carbon atom; 7 protons is nitrogen, and 8 = oxygen.
For any Carbon atom, irrespective of its isotopic mass , there are 6(six) protons.
hi, a carbon atom has 6 protons while sodium atom has 7 protons.
I'm almost positive the protons always tell you the identification of an element on the periodic chart... the atom with 6 protons is Carbon a non metal but if electrons are 5 then it must be carbon cation C+.
Protons are found in the nucleus of every atom. The number of protons determines what element it is; for example, atoms with 6 protons are carbon atoms, while an atom with 8 protons is an oxygen atom.

An Carbon Atom has an total of 6 protons.
6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 protons in carbon-12 atom
it must contain 6 protons, 6 electons and 6 neutrons.
Chlorine has 17 protons.
Carbon IS an atom. I presume you mean how many electrons there are. There are 6 electrons, 6 protons and 6 neutrons in every un-bonded Carbon atom.

The number of protons that are in the atom's nucleus gives the atom its atomic number.
