How many protons does paper have?

Answer 1

Paper is a compound (def.A thing that is composed of two or more separate elements; a mixture.) so cannot have protons/neutrons/electrons. The pure elements that make up paper CAN have a certain number of protons/neutrons/electrons. Paper is mostly made up of carbon (atomic number 6, Atomic Mass of 12.0) so carbon has 6 protons. Again, paper itself cannot have protons/neutrons/electrons, you need to break it down until there are elements.

Answer 2

Paper does not have protons. Protons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Paper is made up of a network of fibers from plant material.
