6p and 7n
There are 6. It also has 7 neutrons. That's why it's called carbon thirteen.
C12, C13, and C14 are isotopes of carbon, differing in the number of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. C12, the most abundant isotope, has six protons and six neutrons, while C13 has six protons and seven neutrons, and C14 has six protons and eight neutrons. C14 is radioactive and is used in radiocarbon dating to determine the age of organic materials. Together, these isotopes play important roles in various scientific fields, including chemistry, geology, and archaeology.
In Carbon-12, the most abundant form of Carbon, there are 6 Neutrons, 6 Protons and 6 Electrons. In Carbon-14, the radioactive isotope of Carbon used in Carbon Dating, has 6 Protons, 8 Neutrons and 6 Electrons.
If it is a pure element, yes usually but not always. If it is a mix of isotopes then no. Carbon for example is not pure C12 - with 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Naturally there is some C13 and traces of C14 with 7 and 8 neutrons respectively present.
When atoms only differ in the number of protons, they are considered isotopes of the same element. This difference in the number of protons results in variations in atomic mass but not in chemical properties.

C-13 has 1 extra neutron (6 protons, 7 neutrons, 6 electrons) where C-12 is in ordinary form (6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons)
In a carbon-13 (C-13) atom, there are 6 protons (from the element carbon) and 7 neutrons (mass number 13 minus the number of protons). Since the atom is electrically neutral, there are also 6 electrons to balance the charge from the protons.
In Carbon-12, the most abundant form of Carbon, there are 6 Neutrons, 6 Protons and 6 Electrons. In Carbon-14, the radioactive isotope of Carbon used in Carbon Dating, has 6 Protons, 8 Neutrons and 6 Electrons.
11 Carbon has atomic(proton) number 6. i.e it has 6 protons. There are three naturally occurring isotopes for carbon. They are C12 c13 and c14. among them c14 is radioactive. c12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. c13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons. c14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Similarly, c17 has 6 protons and 11 neutrons.
Isotopes have the same numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. One of the most common examples is carbon: C12 is the standard carbon atom, but C13 and C14, although still carbon atoms, have one or two extra neutrons.
If it is a pure element, yes usually but not always. If it is a mix of isotopes then no. Carbon for example is not pure C12 - with 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Naturally there is some C13 and traces of C14 with 7 and 8 neutrons respectively present.

You are probably referring to neutrons which are often found within the nucleus of an atom in numbers different from the protons. An atom of the element carbon, for instance, normally consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 12 neutrons. However, an isotope of carbon known as C13 consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 13 neutrons.
The number above Carbon, 6, indicates that the element has 6 protons. It is also assumed that the Carbon atom is neutral (in a neutral atom, there are the same number of electrons as protons), so there will be 6 electrons as well. There will also be 6 neutrons unless otherwise specified that the atom is an isotope (has a different number of neutrons). Also, the number under the Carbon symbol indicates the average mass number, or the average sum of neutrons and protons. since it is about 12, you can just subtract 6 protons to get 6 neutrons.
'ISOTOPES'. The definitive statement is ' Isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons'. NB Do NOT confuse with 'Allotropes' . Allotropes of the same element exhibit different physical characteristics. The elements Sulphur and Phosphorus are the two classic examples of allotropes.
