Carbon has an atomic number of six. Since the atomic number is equal to the number of protons, therefore, carbon has sixprotons.

Explain the process of how you can find the number of neutrons for an atom?

All atoms on the periodic table are assumed to be neutral. This means that they will have an equal number of protons and neutrons. EXAMPLE: carbons atomic number is 6 because it has 6 protons. If it is neutral it will also have 6 neutrons. That is why you see carbons atomic weight is 12 on the periodic table. 6 protons+6neutrons=12. Howevever you could come across carbon 14, this would be called an isotope of carbon. The number of protons in an atom can not change because the number of protons are what make an element what it is. Meaning all carbon atoms will always have 6 protons no matter how many neutrons they have. So, if you have carbon 14, and ALL carbon has 6 protons then carbon 14 has 8 neutrons.
