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+

What element has 6 protons and 6 electrons?
The basic Carbon atom has six protons and six electrons
An atom of the element with atomic number 6 always has what?
six protons in its nucleus
What atom has 5 protons and 6 neutrons and 5 electrons?
I'm almost positive the protons always tell you the identification of an element on the periodic chart... the atom with 6 protons is Carbon a non metal but if electrons are 5 then it must be carbon cation C+.
Protons neutrons electrons in boron?
Boron 10: 5 protons, 5 neutrons, 5 electrons Boron 11: 5 protons, 6 neutrons, 5 electrons
How many protons and electrons and neutrons in carbon?
6 of each in a neutral (non-ion) atom. The carbon atom contains 6 protons. The number of electrons in any element can vary. These atoms are called ions, where the atoms may lose or gain electrons.
What element have 6 protons and 5 electrons?
Carbon+
Which element has 6 protons 5 neutrons and 8 electrons?
The isotope boron-11 has 5 protons and 6 neutrons, but also 5 electrons not 8.
What element has 6 protons and 6 electrons?
The basic Carbon atom has six protons and six electrons
What is called an element with 6 protons and 6 electrons?
Carbon
If the atomic number of an element is five how many protons does the element have?
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.
How many electrons can an atom contain?
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.
What is an atomic number in an element?
It is the number of Protons or Electrons. An example is Carbon it's atomic number is 6 therefore it has 6 Protons and 6 Electrons.
An atom of the element with atomic number 6 always has what?
six protons in its nucleus
Protons neutrons electrons in boron?
Boron 10: 5 protons, 5 neutrons, 5 electrons Boron 11: 5 protons, 6 neutrons, 5 electrons
What atom has 5 protons and 6 neutrons and 5 electrons?
I'm almost positive the protons always tell you the identification of an element on the periodic chart... the atom with 6 protons is Carbon a non metal but if electrons are 5 then it must be carbon cation C+.
What element on the periodic table has 6 protons 6 neutrons and 6 electrons?
Only carbon has 6 protons. Specifically, this is a neutral atom of the isotope 12C.
How many protons and electrons and neutrons in carbon?
6 of each in a neutral (non-ion) atom. The carbon atom contains 6 protons. The number of electrons in any element can vary. These atoms are called ions, where the atoms may lose or gain electrons.
