6 of each in a neutral (non-ion) atom.
The carbon atom contains 6 protons. The number of electrons in any element can vary. These atoms are called ions, where the atoms may lose or gain electrons.

∙ 9y agoCarbon has by definition 6 protons. However, its many isotopes can have anywhere from 2 neutrons to 16 neutrons, with 6 neutrons being the most common (~95% of all carbon).

∙ 12y agoSince the element carbon has 6 protons, and the element oxygen has 8 protons, and CO2 consists of one carbon and two oxygen atoms, you therefore have 6 + 16 = 22 protons in CO2 and the same number of electrons.

∙ 11y agoThe number of electrons is most normally going to be the same amount of protons.
To figure out how many electrons and protons there are,
look at a Periodic Table. The periodic table will tell you what number it is in the list, which gives you the number of electrons and protons.
Carbon is 6th on the periodic table, therefore it has 6 electrons and protons.
Carbon has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and usually 6 neutrons.

Carbon-11 has 6 protons, 5 neutrons, and 6 electrons.
A neutral carbon atom contains 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. The number of protons and electrons is equal, giving the atom a neutral charge.
carbon 14 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 8 neutrons.
40Ar has 18 protons, 22 neutrons, and 18 electrons.
Carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. The number of protons determines the element, while the sum of protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass. Electrons are equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
6 electrons, protons, and neutrons.
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.
