It really isn't elements that are stable or unstable, but isotopes. Carbon has both stable and unstable isotopes.
Carbon: C-13 isotope, stable, 1.1% of all natural occurring carbon (98.9% C-12) Atomic number: 6 (number of protons in nucleus) Atomic mass: 13.0033 a.m.e. Mass number: 13 (= 6 protons + 7 neutrons in nucleus) Nonmetal
Bismuth Francium has the largest atom - the greatest atomic radius.
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom defines the element. An atom which as 6 protons will be Carbon. The atomic weight of an element depends upon not only the proton but also the neutrons in the nucleus. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. There are three isotopes of carbon: carbon 12 (with 6 neutrons) and carbon 13 (with 7 neutrons) are stable, and carbon 14 (with 8 neutrons) is slightly radioactive and decays by emitting neutrons to carbon 12.
The atomic mass of elemental Carbon is 12.011. There are two stable isotopes with differing mass numbers: 12 (98,9%) and 13 (1,1%) and one semi-stable C isotope nr. 14 (half-life time 5730 yr.)
Yes, carbon is a more stable element than silicon. Carbon forms stronger bonds due to its smaller atomic size, leading to greater stability in its compounds. Silicon, on the other hand, tends to form weaker bonds and is less stable compared to carbon.

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom (it also relates to the number of electrons in a stable atom). Each element has a unique number of protons, no matter what the isotope of that element is. For instance, carbon-12, carbon-13 and carbon-14 all have six protons - it's just the numbers of neutrons that varies. In this way you can tell immediately what element an atom belongs to by the number of protons.
Atomic weight is not the same as atomic number for any element except hydrogen; this is the only element that has a radioactively stable isotope with no neutrons.
Fluorine is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 9.
Isotopes carbon-12 and carbon-13 are stable; the isotope carbon-14 is radioactive and unstable.

Of elements that have no stable isotopes, technetium has the lowest atomic number, which is 43.
Atomic mass numbers are not properties of elements overall, but only of particular isotopes of elements. The only stable element with an isotope with mass number 11 is boron. Beryllium and carbon also have isotopes with mass number 11, but these are radioactive.
Number of protons = atomic number Number of neutrons = Atomic Mass (rounded to the nearest whole number) minus the atomic number Number of electrons in a stable element = number of protons Number of electrons in an unstable element = atomic number minus the charge
