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.
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

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.
carbon has 6 protons and electrons. It has 6 neutrons - (Mass number take atomic number)
the mass is 12.01
it has 6 protons, 6 electronce and 8 neutrons.:-))
Electrons - 8
proton- 8
neutron- 4
I know that the protons are 6
2, 10
Carbon is an atom. Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. it has 6 protons , neutrons and electrons each
For the isotope carbon-12: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
In all there are 6 electrons, but the electrons are distributed over 2 shells. In the first shell, there are 2 electrons, and in the second there are 4 electrons. Note that this applies to the neutral atom of carbon.
6 protons [because Carbon is number 6] 6 electrons [because if you want it to be neutral it has to be same as protons number] 8 neutrons [because atomic mass contains neutrons + protons. 14 - 6 = 8]
An atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons.
6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 protons in carbon-12 atom
Carbon is an atom. Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. it has 6 protons , neutrons and electrons each
6 electrons, protons, and neutrons.
For the isotope carbon-12: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
A carbon atom has 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons
Carbon 14 has 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and (in the neutral atom) 6 electrons.
In all there are 6 electrons, but the electrons are distributed over 2 shells. In the first shell, there are 2 electrons, and in the second there are 4 electrons. Note that this applies to the neutral atom of carbon.
A single atom of Carbon-12
6 protons [because Carbon is number 6] 6 electrons [because if you want it to be neutral it has to be same as protons number] 8 neutrons [because atomic mass contains neutrons + protons. 14 - 6 = 8]
This ia an ion. It could be C atom if it has 6 electrons too.
An atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons.
