6 electrons, protons, and neutrons.
A carbon-40 atom has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 34 neutrons.
A carbon atom has an atomic number of 6, which means it has 6 protons in its nucleus. Since atoms are neutral, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Therefore, a carbon atom has 6 electrons.
Carbon has 6 protons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, which is why carbon, with 6 electrons, also has 6 protons. This is what defines it as the element carbon on the periodic table.
An electrically neutral carbon atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons: 6, which is equal to its atomic number.
Carbon IS an atom. I presume you mean how many electrons there are. There are 6 electrons, 6 protons and 6 neutrons in every un-bonded Carbon atom.
6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 protons in carbon-12 atom
A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons.
For the isotope carbon-12: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
A neutral atom of carbon has 6 protons and 6 electrons. This is because in a neutral atom, the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge), balancing each other out.
A carbon-40 atom has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 34 neutrons.
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.
A carbon atom has an atomic number of 6, which means it has 6 protons in its nucleus. Since atoms are neutral, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Therefore, a carbon atom has 6 electrons.

Carbon does not have an atomic number of 14.
Its electrons and protons are the same. just determine its electrons form its atomic number
