How many protons electrons and neutrons in a carbon atom?

Answer 1

Carbon (symbol C, atom number 6) is build up with:

6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 or 7 or 8 neutrons, depending on the mass number of the three possible isotopes: C-(12) has 6 neutrons and C-(13) or (14) has 7 or 8 of them respectively.
Six of each in carbon-12, the most common isotope.

Answer 2

6 protons

6 electrons

6 neutrons

electrons aren't found in the nucleus though

if you need help with counting protons, neutrons and electrons, try this site it's kind of helpful towards the bottom

Answer 3

Carbon has 6 protons and 6 electrons because the atomic number is six, this determine how many protons are in the nucleus, and if the number of protons equal the number of electrons in a neutral atom, then there are 6 electrons and 6 protons.

Answer 4

carbon has 6 protons and electrons. It has 6 neutrons - (Mass number take atomic number)

the mass is 12.01

Answer 5

it has 6 protons, 6 electronce and 8 neutrons.:-))

Answer 6

Electrons - 8

proton- 8

neutron- 4

Answer 7

A carbon atom has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and either 6 or 7 neutrons (depending on the isotope of carbon).

Answer 8

I know that the protons are 6

Answer 9

2, 10
