I would say 6 because C-12 has 6 protons, and the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This is a rare exception when the protons, neutrons, and electrons are all the same number-6.

What is the difference between c 12 and c 14?

C12 and C14 are isotopes of the Element Carbon. C12 is the most abundant of all which is 99% of all the Carbon on earth while C14 is only 0.0000000001% (trace amount). C12 has a Atomic Number of 12. It has 6 Protons and 6 Neutrons. C14 has a Atomic Number of 14. It has 6 Protons and 8 Neutrons. C14 is radioactive in nature. It is used for carbon dating.

What is it called when the atoms only differ in the number of protons?

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.
