Carbon has 6 protons an 6 electrons (in a neutral state).
The number of neutrons is:
- for 12C: 6 neutrons
- for 13C: 7 neutrons
- for 14C: 8 neutrons
For artificila isotopes: number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
Carbon's atomic number is 6, which is the same as the number of protons and the number of the electrons. Most carbon atoms have 6 neutrons as well through some have 7 or 8.
Carbon-14 contains more neutrons compared to carbon-12. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. The number of protons and electrons in both carbon isotopes remains the same, at 6 each.
Carbon 14 has 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and (in the neutral atom) 6 electrons.
In Carbon-12 there are 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons.
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons and electrons but differ in the number of neutrons. For example, carbon-12 has 6 protons and 6 electrons, with 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 6 protons and 6 electrons, but with 8 neutrons. Therefore, the number of protons and electrons remains consistent between isotopes, while the neutron count varies.
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.
Carbon's atomic number is 6, which is the same as the number of protons and the number of the electrons. Most carbon atoms have 6 neutrons as well through some have 7 or 8.
Carbon-14 contains more neutrons compared to carbon-12. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. The number of protons and electrons in both carbon isotopes remains the same, at 6 each.
Carbon 14 has 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and (in the neutral atom) 6 electrons.
Because it is carbon, it automatically has 6 protons (remembering that it is the number of protons that becomes the basis for naming atoms). However, it's a little unclear based on the question as to what the number of electrons is in the system since no charge is given (remember: Charge No. = No. of protons - No. of Electrons). Assume a neutral atom, however, and you would have 6 electrons.
In Carbon-12 there are 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons.
For the isotope carbon-12: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
6 of each in a neutral (non-ion) atom. The carbon atom contains 6 protons. The number of electrons in any element can vary. These atoms are called ions, where the atoms may lose or gain electrons.
The atomic number of carbon is 6 and it has six electrons. The mass number of it is 41 and therefore it has 8 neutrons.
Only carbon has 6 protons. Specifically, this is a neutral atom of the isotope 12C.
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]
Both carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon, meaning they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Carbon-12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. This difference in the number of neutrons leads to distinct atomic masses and isotopic properties.
