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.

How many electrons does C-12 have?

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.


How many electrons does on atom of carbon contain?

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.


How many electrons does the carbon-12 isotope have?

There are six electrons in a carbon atom, the isotope does not change this.


How many electrons protons and neutrons are in a carbon atom?

6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 protons in carbon-12 atom


How many electrons does an atom of carbon have if it is represented by this symbol 12 c 1-?

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.


What is the number of protons neutrons and electrons of carbon 12?

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.


What is the number of protons electrons and neutrons in C 12?

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


Draw a label a picture of a carbon-12 atom and a carbon-14 atom What if your diagram should show electrons and their shells the nucleus protons and neutrons List the atomic number and atomic mass of e?

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 and an atom of carbon are?

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.
