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]

How many neutrons doescarbon have?

Run of the mill carbon-12 atom has 6 protons, 6 neutrons. Isotopes will have varying amounts. Carbon-13 and carbon-14 have 7 and 8 neutrons.


How many neutrons does an atom of carbon-14 contain?

The position of Carbon on the periodic table tells you how many protons carbon has in its nucleus. The number after it tells you the total number of protons and neutrons. You can take the number after it and subtract its number on the periodic table and get the number of neutrons. For example: Helium is the second element in the periodic table. Helium 3 has two protons and one neutron. Helium 4 has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Since it is element number 2 it has two protons. Now try that with carbon.


How many neutrons are in 14 C 6?

Carbon-14 (14C) has 8 neutrons. This is because the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom determines its atomic mass, and carbon has 6 protons.


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 protons neutrons and electrons in carbon-14?

Carbon 14 has 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and (in the neutral atom) 6 electrons.


What does 14 mean in carbon 14?

In carbon-14, the number 14 refers to the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the carbon atom. Carbon-14 is an isotope of carbon that contains 6 protons and 8 neutrons, resulting in a total atomic mass number of 14.


How many neutrons are in a nitrogen-14 atom?

7 neutrons in Nitrogen 14


How many neutrons does carbon have if its mass number is 14?

6. Carbon's atomic number is 6, meaning it has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-14 has a mass number of 14, meaning it has extra neutrons, but no extra protons. So Carbon 14 still has 6 protons, and it has 8 (14-6) neutrons.
