∙ 12y agoCarbon has an Atomic number of 6. Therefore it has 6 electrons and 6 protons.
The Atomic mass is made up of protons plus neutrons. Different isotopes of an element have a different Atomic Mass (and therefore a different number of neutrons) but all isotopes of an element retain the same Atomic number.

What is the number of valence electrons for carbon?
4 electrons
How many electrons are in the 2p sublevel of carbon?
Carbon is the group 14, period 2 chemical element. Its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p2. Thus, carbon has 2 electrons in its 2p subshell.
An atom of carbon-14 contains how many protons?
All carbon atoms have 6 protons, which is why carbon's atomic number is 6. All neutral carbon atoms have 6 electrons. The number of neutrons in a carbon-14 atom is its mass number minus its atomic number, 14 - 6 = 8 neutrons.
How many neutrons does an atom of carbon 14 have?
6 protons [because Carbon is number 6] 6 electrons [because if you want it to be neutral it has to be same as protons number] 8 neutrons [because atomic mass contains neutrons + protons. 14 - 6 = 8]
What is the structure of carbon -12 and carbon -14?
C(12) has 6 protons and 6 neutrons and 6 electrons in its structureC(14) has 6 protons and 8 neutrons and 6 electrons in its structure
How many electrons does carbon need?
In order to be neutral, carbon needs 14 electrons.
What is the number of valence electrons for carbon?
4 electrons
How many protons and neutron and electrons are in the atom?
Carbon does not have an atomic number of 14.
How many protons neutrons and electrons in carbon-14?
Carbon 14 has 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and (in the neutral atom) 6 electrons.
How many electrons are in the 2p sublevel of carbon?
Carbon is the group 14, period 2 chemical element. Its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p2. Thus, carbon has 2 electrons in its 2p subshell.
Does carbon-14 have more or fewer neutrons than carbon-12?
Carbon - 14 has two more electrons than carbon - 12.
What is the number of valence electrons for C-14?
The number of valence electrons for carbon is 4, regardless of the isotope.
How many electrons are there in carbon?
if its not an ion it has 6
What characteristics do carbon 12 carbon 13 carbon 14 have in common?
They have the same number of protons and electrons.
How many electrons are in the outermost level of carbon?
Carbon has 4 outermost electrons.
An atom of carbon-14 contains how many protons?
All carbon atoms have 6 protons, which is why carbon's atomic number is 6. All neutral carbon atoms have 6 electrons. The number of neutrons in a carbon-14 atom is its mass number minus its atomic number, 14 - 6 = 8 neutrons.
How many neutrons does an atom of carbon 14 have?
6 protons [because Carbon is number 6] 6 electrons [because if you want it to be neutral it has to be same as protons number] 8 neutrons [because atomic mass contains neutrons + protons. 14 - 6 = 8]
