No Element Has that kind of Configuration
The basic Carbon atom has six protons and six electrons
The element with 26 protons is iron (Fe).
An atom with six protons in the nucleus is a carbon element.
No because the number of protons never changes or else the element changes.
An atom of the element with atomic number 6 always has 6 protons in its nucleus. This element is carbon, and the number of protons determines its atomic number on the periodic table.

An atom with six protons in the nucleus is a carbon element.
Atoms of a given element have a specific number of electrons that equals the number of protons in their nucleus, which defines the element's atomic number. For example, carbon has six protons and six electrons. In neutral atoms, the number of electrons matches the number of protons, but ions can have more or fewer electrons due to gaining or losing them. Thus, the number of electrons in an atom of a specific element can vary in ionic forms but remains constant for neutral atoms.
When we consider charged particles, we are only concerned with protons and electrons. Neutrons have no charge, so they don't contribute to a positive or negative charge. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. They are both equally positive and negative, that is to say one proton cancels out the charge of one electron. So as long as there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, the particle will be neutral. If there are six protons, then there needs to be six electrons in order to be neutral.

carbon has six protons and six neutrons
The number of protons is equal to the element's atomic number on the periodic table. Hydrogen, atomic number one, has one proton. Carbon, atomic number six, has six protons. Alternatively, if you know the number of electrons on a neutral atom, the number of protons will be the same.
Carbon is the element which has 6 protons in the nucleus.
Refer to the Periodic Table to find an element's atomic number. This gives the proton number of that element, as well as the number of electrons (assuming the atom is neutral). For example, carbon has an atomic number of 6, which means it has six protons, and - when neutral - 6 electrons, as well.
You need to know the atomic number to find the element, and the atomic number equals the # of protons and electrons, which is 6. It is Carbon.
