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 electron in carbon?
there are 12 electrons in carbon. you can find this out by looking at the "ATOMIC NUMBER"
Carbon has an atomic number of 6 how many protons and neutrons are in a nucleus of carbon 13?
12 - 6 = 6 neutrons; the number of neutrons in an isotope is always the mass number minus the atomic number.
What is the number of protons neutrons and electrons of carbon 12?
Carbon-12 has 6 protons, neutrons, and electrons.
How many valence electrons are there in a neutral sulfur atom?
6
What is the difference between atoms of carbon -12 and carbon -14?
Carbon has three isotopes. They are ;- C-12 ; 6 protons, 6 neutrons ( 6+6=12) and 6 electrons C-13 ; 6 protons, 7 neutrons (6+7=13) and 6 electrons C-14 ; 6 protons, 8 neutrons (6+8=14) and 6 electrons. C-12 is the commonest isotope C-13 is used in magnetic resonance imaging C-14 is radio-active and used in carbon dating. The difference is the number of neutrons. Do NOT confuse isotope with allotrope. Allotropes of an element are different physical characteristics. Graphite, Black and dull, conducts electricity Diamond, Shiny when cut, very hard, does NOT conduct electricity Buckminster Fullerene, (Buckyballs) Black and dull , an possible super-conductor.,
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 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.
What isotope of carbon has been chosen as the reference isotope for atomic mass units?
The atomic mass may be considered to be the total mass of protons, neutrons and electrons in a single atom (when the atom is motionless). Relative isotopic mass is the relative mass of a given isotope scaled with carbon-12 as exactly 12.
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 has 6 protons 6 electrons Neutrons?
A single atom of Carbon-12
Distinguish between atomic number and atomic mass?
The Atomic Number of an element is equal to the number of Protons/Electrons in the nucleus and the Atomic Weight is approximately the total number of Protons/Electrons and Neutrons combined. Using Carbon as an example: Total Protons/Electrons = 6, therefore the Atomic Number is 6 Total Neutrons = 6, and the Atomic Weight is 12 Question? The Atomic Number of Lithium = 3 The Atomic Weight of Lithium = 7 How many Protons/Electrons? How many Neutrons? Answer: Protons/Electrons = 3 Neutrons = 4
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
How are atoms different from one another?
They are different because of the number of electrons in there electron cloud. True, the number of electrons are specific to the type of atom but so are the number of protons. The atomic number of the atom is directly related to the number of protons and electrons it has. So carbon for example is given the atomic number 6. Thus it has 6 protons and 6 electrons. It's atomic mass is 12.0107 amu. This we can round to 12. To aquire the atomic mass of a given element you add the number of protons and nuetrons together since the electrons are so infinitely small they are not considered to have any mass. We know from the atomic number that carbon has 6 protons, it's atomic mass is 12, so that means the number of nuetrons must also be 6. This doesn't exactly answer the question though. The obvious things that differentiate one atom from another are their atomic number, the number of protons and electrons inside an atom, and their atomic mass.
The atomic mass equals what?
In science the basic unit is the atom which is composed of neutrons, protons, and electrons. Electrons are generally considered to small to count as part of the mass. Atomic mass is the sum of neutrons and protons. For example: Oxygen has 6 protons and, in its natural state, 6 neutrons. This means that its atomic mass is 12.
How many protons does a neutral carbon atom c-12 has?
A carbon atom has 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons
Does carbon contain atom?
A carbon atom contains 6 protons, 6 electrons, and either 6 (carbon-12), 7 (carbon-13), or 8 (carbon-14) neutrons. The atomic number of carbon is 6, which tells you the number of protons and electrons; the Atomic Mass - atomic number = number of neutrons.
