The number of protons in all atoms, ions, or isotopes of carbon will have six protons. If the particle had a different number of protons, it would be a different element. In an atom, the charge of one proton will balance/cancel out the charge of one electron. So in a neutral atom of carbon, there would be six electrons to cancel the six protons. The "14" in "C-14" is the mass number - the sum of the number of protons and neutrons. If we know that there are six protons, the subtraction will give us eight neutrons.

How do you calculate the number of protons neutrons and electrons of an atom?
The charge of an ion can be calculated by adding up the protons and subtracting the electrons. When oxygen with 8 protons has 8 electrons it is neutral, when it has 7 electrons it is positively charged.
How can the number of protons electrons and neutrons be calculated when giving the mass number?
The atomic number must be known along with the mass number. Then the number of protons or electrons is the same as the atomic number, and the number of neutrons is the difference between the mass number and the atomic number.
What is the protons number neutrons number and electrons number in argon?
Protons: 18Neutrons: 18, 20 and 22. Electrons: 18
What is the protons neutrons and electrons for 65Zn?
Protons- 30 Electrons- 30 Neutrons- 35 Zn-65 means the atomic number plus the number of neutrons equals 65. Zinc always has 30 protons; therefore, it's atomic number is 30 and it has 30 protons and electrons. The remaining number is the neutrons: 65-30= 35
Find the Number of protons neutrons and electrons in xenon?
54 protons, an average of 77 neutrons, and 54 electrons.
Calculate the number of protons electrons and neutrons in helium-6?
Helium-6 has two protons and electrons and four neutrons.
How would you calculate the atomic mass of atom without using the periodic table if you know the number of protons electrons and neutrons?
Add the number of protons plus the number of neutrons for an approximate answer. Compared to protons and neutrons, electrons have zero mass - it takes over 1800 electrons to equal the mass of a proton or neutron.
How do you calculate the number of protons neutrons and electrons of an atom?
The charge of an ion can be calculated by adding up the protons and subtracting the electrons. When oxygen with 8 protons has 8 electrons it is neutral, when it has 7 electrons it is positively charged.
What are the number of protons neutrons and electrons in an element?
Number of protons = Number of electrons = Atomic number Number of neutrons = Atomic number - Number of protons
Do electrons equal the sum of the number of neutrons and protons in an isotope?
No. The number of neutrons has no affect on the number of protons and electrons.
What is the number of neutrons electrons and protons in nitrogen14?
there are 7 neutrons, 7 protons, and....----electrons
How can the number of protons electrons and neutrons be calculated when giving the mass number?
The atomic number must be known along with the mass number. Then the number of protons or electrons is the same as the atomic number, and the number of neutrons is the difference between the mass number and the atomic number.
How many protons electrons and neutrons does americium have?
Americium has 95 protons and electrons. Number of neutrons: atomic mass of an isotope - number of protons
What is the number of protons neutrons and electrons of carbon 12?
Carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. The number of protons determines the element (carbon), the number of neutrons plus protons gives the mass number (12), and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
How do you calculate subatomic particles in isotopes?
To calculate the number of subatomic particles in isotopes, you need to know the atomic number (number of protons) and mass number (sum of protons and neutrons) of the isotope. Subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons. The number of electrons will be equal to the number of protons if the atom is neutral.
What are the number of protons neutrons and electrons in boron?
Boron has 5 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a boron isotope = Mass number - 5
How many electrons protons and neutrons are in uranium?
Uranium isotopes have 92 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons
