A carbon atom always contains six protons.

In nature, carbon most commonly has six (12C, carbon-12), seven (13C, carbon-13) or eight (14C, carbon-14) neutrons.

However, man-made isotopes of carbon contain as few as two neutrons (8C) or as many as sixteen (22C). Thirteen of the fifteen isotopes of Carbon (i.e. all except 12C and 13C) are radioactive.

In addition to neutrons and protons, a carbon atom always has six electrons in orbits around the nucleus.

How many electrons protons and neutrons does sugar have?

Fructose is C6H12O6. Assuming that all the elements have the most stable isotope, then each carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, each hydrogen has 1 proton and 0 neutron, each oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. So there will be a total of 96 protons and 84 neutrons.

No electrons are in the nucleus. the nucleus consists of a proton for normal hydrogen, a proton and neutron for deuterium and a proton and two neutrons for tritium. Deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen.


What charge are protons neutrons and electrons if they are part of carbon?

Protons are always postive, neutrons are always neutral and electrons are always negative. Carbon has no charge because it has as many protons as it has electrons.
