The C-12 isotope has 6 protons and 6 neutrons.
C-13 has 1 extra neutron (6 protons, 7 neutrons, 6 electrons) where C-12 is in ordinary form (6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons)
11 Carbon has atomic(proton) number 6. i.e it has 6 protons. There are three naturally occurring isotopes for carbon. They are C12 c13 and c14. among them c14 is radioactive. c12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. c13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons. c14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Similarly, c17 has 6 protons and 11 neutrons.
Carbon-12 (C-12) is one of the stable isotopes of the element carbon. It is composed of six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus. This isotope makes up the majority of naturally occurring carbon on Earth.
Isotopes have the same numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. One of the most common examples is carbon: C12 is the standard carbon atom, but C13 and C14, although still carbon atoms, have one or two extra neutrons.

isotopes. ex- c14,c12 are isotopes .proton same 6. neutrons are 8,6 respectively
C-13 has 1 extra neutron (6 protons, 7 neutrons, 6 electrons) where C-12 is in ordinary form (6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons)
C12 and C14 are isotopes of the Element Carbon. C12 is the most abundant of all which is 99% of all the Carbon on earth while C14 is only 0.0000000001% (trace amount). C12 has a Atomic Number of 12. It has 6 Protons and 6 Neutrons. C14 has a Atomic Number of 14. It has 6 Protons and 8 Neutrons. C14 is radioactive in nature. It is used for carbon dating.

Carbon-12 (C-12) is one of the stable isotopes of the element carbon. It is composed of six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus. This isotope makes up the majority of naturally occurring carbon on Earth.
In Carbon-12, the most abundant form of Carbon, there are 6 Neutrons, 6 Protons and 6 Electrons. In Carbon-14, the radioactive isotope of Carbon used in Carbon Dating, has 6 Protons, 8 Neutrons and 6 Electrons.
If it is a pure element, yes usually but not always. If it is a mix of isotopes then no. Carbon for example is not pure C12 - with 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Naturally there is some C13 and traces of C14 with 7 and 8 neutrons respectively present.
'ISOTOPES'. The definitive statement is ' Isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons'. NB Do NOT confuse with 'Allotropes' . Allotropes of the same element exhibit different physical characteristics. The elements Sulphur and Phosphorus are the two classic examples of allotropes.
C 14 and C 12 are both isotopes of carbon. Since they are the same element, both of these isotopes have the same number of neutrons. However, C 12 has 6 neutrons and is stable whereas C 14 has 8 neutrons and is radioactive.

Isotopes have the same numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. One of the most common examples is carbon: C12 is the standard carbon atom, but C13 and C14, although still carbon atoms, have one or two extra neutrons.
