Carbon is a non metallic element. Mass number of it is 12.
well the mass number is actually 12. because the ATOMIC MASS is 12.011. and to find the mass number you must round the atomic mass to the nearest WHOLE NUMBER. 12.011 rrounded to its nearest whole number would be 12. and to find the number of neutrons you must subtract the ATOMIC NUMBER (which is 6) from its mass number. 12-6=6. so carbon has 6 neutrons. carbon also has 6 protons, as well as 6 electrons.
Carbon-7 is a theoretical isotope that does not actually exist. But if it DID exist, it would have one neutron, because the mass number of any isotope = protons + neutrons, and all carbon atoms have 6 protons. Therefore C-7 would have 6 protons and one neutron.
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.)
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
This is not an atom, but a non-existing Carbon anion (-1, negatively charged)
um...13 Carbon 13 is not a radioisotope. It isn't radioactive. It's atomic number is 6 and atomic mass is 13 The exact mass is 13.003355 according to http://www.sisweb.com/referenc/source/exactmas.htmThe atomic mass of carbon 13 is 13.0033548378
13. The mass number is always the total number of protons and neutrons.

No. The only mass numbers of carbon isotopes that occur naturally are 12 and 13, and the number of atoms with mass number 12 is much greater than the number of atoms with mass number 13 in any carbon from natural sources. Carbon-14 exists at all only in carbon including man-made isotopes.
Carbon 13 has 7 neutrons.The atomic mass represents the total number of protons and electrons. Carbon atoms have 6 protons. Therefore, the atomic mass being 13, it has 7 neutrons.
There are three isotopes of carbon with mass numbers 12 (which is more than 99% of existing carbon), 13, and 14 (which is radioactive).

The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. The mass number is equal to the total number of nucleons (both protons and neutrons). Therefore, there are 13 protons and neutrons, 6 of which are protons, leaving the remaining 7 to be neutrons. In short, 6 protons, 7 neutrons. You're referring to carbon-13, an uncommon isotope of carbon. Sharondenadel The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus.

xxC, where the 'xx' is the mass number of the isotope, usually 12, 13 or 14. The 'C' simply means it is carbon.
12 - 6 = 6 neutrons; the number of neutrons in an isotope is always the mass number minus the atomic number.
