Carbon's atomic number is 6, therefore it has 6 protons in its atoms. Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, which is 6 + 5 = 11.
The position of Carbon on the periodic table tells you how many protons carbon has in its nucleus. The number after it tells you the total number of protons and neutrons. You can take the number after it and subtract its number on the periodic table and get the number of neutrons. For example: Helium is the second element in the periodic table. Helium 3 has two protons and one neutron. Helium 4 has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Since it is element number 2 it has two protons. Now try that with carbon.
the mass number is number of protons in an atom, plus the number of neutrons.
the atomic mass of carbon 13 is 13 lt has six protons how many neutrons does this isotope
The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. In this case, the mass number of the sodium atom with 11 protons and 12 neutrons would be 23.
The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
A carbon atom with a mass number of 12 has 6 protons (which is the atomic number of carbon) and 6 neutrons.
The mass number of a carbon atom is 12. This number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the carbon atom.
The mass number for carbon is 12, which represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of a carbon atom.
A carbon atom with a mass number of 14 and atomic number of 6 will have 8 neutrons, calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. The mass number represents the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, and the atomic number indicates the number of protons, which in this case would be 6 for carbon.
The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom is given by the atomic mass number, which is the sum of the number of protons (atomic number) and the number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom.
neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons, atomic number is the number is the amount of protons, atomic mass is the average mass of one mole of atoms. each particle wieghing one amu (atomic mass unit)
The number of neutrons in an atom is the number of protons subtracted from the mass number. For instance Carbon weighs 12.01 amus and has 4 Protons, therefore it has 8 neutrons because protons and neutrons make the mass of an atom since electrons weigh such a small amount.
Mass number!:)
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons.
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
6 protons [because Carbon is number 6] 6 electrons [because if you want it to be neutral it has to be same as protons number] 8 neutrons [because atomic mass contains neutrons + protons. 14 - 6 = 8]
