The number of protons determines the name of the element: 5 Protons = Boron (B) (just look at the Periodic Table and the atomic number corresponds to the number of protons the element has)
The Atomic Mass of the element determines the isotope of the atom which is simply Protons (5) + Neutrons (6) = atomic mass (11) so the isotope of this Boron atom is written as 11B (this is short hand the more formal version is written with the atomic number written right below the atomic mass, but i dont know how to do that on the computer)
Now the last thing is the charge which is Protons (5) - Electrons (2) = Charge (3+) you subtract the number of electrons because electron's charge is negative one) so the final answer will look like this 11B3+
Boron is an atom or element, and it contains protons, electrons, and neutrons.
6 electrons and 6 protons
6 protons and 6 electrons
The basic Carbon atom has six protons and six electrons
Boron 10: 5 protons, 5 neutrons, 5 electrons Boron 11: 5 protons, 6 neutrons, 5 electrons
Carbon+
Boron is an atom or element, and it contains protons, electrons, and neutrons.
The isotope boron-11 has 5 protons and 6 neutrons, but also 5 electrons not 8.
6 electrons and 6 protons
6 protons and 6 electrons
Carbon has 6 protons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, which is why carbon, with 6 electrons, also has 6 protons. This is what defines it as the element carbon on the periodic table.
Neutrons do not affect the neutrality (or charge) of an atom; protons and electrons do. In order to be neutral, the number of protons must be the same as the number of electrons.
The basic Carbon atom has six protons and six electrons
Only carbon has 6 protons. Specifically, this is a neutral atom of the isotope 12C.
Carbon
Boron 10: 5 protons, 5 neutrons, 5 electrons Boron 11: 5 protons, 6 neutrons, 5 electrons
That depends on the number of protons. It also depends whether the atom has gained or lost electrons to form an ion. Carbon is element number 6; it has 6 protons and 6 electrons. Lead is element number 82; it has 82 protons and 82 electrons.
