This is the element Carbon.
Carbon has three isotopes, of which carbon -12 is the most common.
It is composed of : -
C-12 ; 6 protons, 6 neutrons, ( 6+6 = 12) and 6 electrons.
The other isotopes of carbon are#
C-13 ; 6 protons, 7 neutrons, ( 6+7=13) and 6 electrons
C-14 ; 6 protons, 8 neutrons, (6+8=14) and 6 electrons.
Carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. The number of protons determines the element (carbon), the number of neutrons plus protons gives the mass number (12), and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
An atom of hydrogen has one proton and one electron, with a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit. An atom of carbon has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons, with a mass of approximately 12 atomic mass units.
there are 12 electrons in carbon. you can find this out by looking at the "ATOMIC NUMBER"
The ionic charge of an atom or ion can not be determined from the mass number and atomic number alone, because the ionic charge if any depends on the surplus or deficiency of electrons compared to protons in the atom or ion. Ordinarily, the symbol C-12, with no further modification, indicates a neutral atom, which would have zero ionic charge.
A neutral sulfur atom has 6 valence electrons. Sulfur is in group 16 of the periodic table, so it has 6 valence electrons in its outermost shell.
A carbon-12 atom has 6 electrons. The atomic number of carbon is 6, which determines the number of electrons in a neutral carbon atom.
In all there are 6 electrons, but the electrons are distributed over 2 shells. In the first shell, there are 2 electrons, and in the second there are 4 electrons. Note that this applies to the neutral atom of carbon.
There are six electrons in a carbon atom, the isotope does not change this.
6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 protons in carbon-12 atom
12C- the singly charged anion of carbon 12 has 7 electrons. Hopefully the question was 126C- - how many electrons- as at least in that you you are told the atomic number (6) as well as the mass number (12) as you need the atomic number to tell you how many electrons are in the neutral atom.
Carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. The number of protons determines the element (carbon), the number of neutrons plus protons gives the mass number (12), and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
I can answer this if it were Carbon(atom number 6 in the periodic table), 'c-4' is unknown to me as element. C-4 ion does not exist and should preferably be written as C4-. Berillium is atom no. 4.So:C has 6 protons and 6 electronsNeutron number is different for each type of isotope:Isotope C-12, with mass number 12, has 6 neutronsIsotope C-13, with mass number 13, has 7 neutronsIsotope C-14, with mass number 14, has 8 neutrons
In a carbon-12 atom, there are 6 protons and 6 neutrons in the nucleus, with 6 electrons in two electron shells around the nucleus. In a carbon-14 atom, there are 6 protons and 8 neutrons in the nucleus, with 6 electrons in two electron shells. The atomic number for both is 6, while the atomic mass for carbon-12 is 12, and for carbon-14 it is 14.
An atom of hydrogen has one proton and one electron, with a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit. An atom of carbon has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons, with a mass of approximately 12 atomic mass units.
A single atom of Carbon-12
there are 12 electrons in carbon. you can find this out by looking at the "ATOMIC NUMBER"
