Number of protons = atomic number = 6 atomic units
Number of protons + neutrons = mass number = 13 atomic units
IIRC Atoms (contains Protons/Neutrons and electrons) Nucleus contains Protons and Nuetrons Proton atomic size 1 Nuetron atomic size 1 electron atomic size 1/1836 i.e the proton is 1836 bigger than the electron
Protons = Atomic Number Electrons = Atomic Number Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number *A note on Atomic Mass* Atomic Mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Every time you remove or add a Proton/Electron or a Neutron, you change the mass by one. *A note on Protons and Electrons* The number of Protons and Electrons in an atom is always the same. Whenever you talk about adding/removing a proton or an electron, you are by default adding/removing one of the other as well.
Neutrons are neutral sub atomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom (along with positively charged protons). Electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles that are revolving around the nucleus of an atom. The mass of neutron is 1 amu and the mass of electron is about 1837 times less than that of neutron.
The atomic number correlates to the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic number also dictates the number of electrons that orbit the nucleus if the atom in neutral. Finally the atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons found in the nucleus. The atomic number equals the number of protons (p+) or electron (e-).
Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons that make up an atom. The neutron number is only the number of neutrons present in the atom. This can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass.
6 which is Carbon
In an atom, the proton is the positively charged particle that is in the atomic nucleus. The other particles associated with the atom are the neutron and electron.

they work because in every atom there is a neutron, electron and proton. the electron will tell you what the atomic number is and the neutrons and protons will tell you what element it is.
Neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus.

The number of protons gives the atomic number. The number of electrons are equal to the number protons unless the atom is ionized. The number of neutrons determines which isotope you have. Hope that helps

yes
Atomic Mass minus atomic number. This is rather simplified but the atomic mass of an element is the total of all the protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom. Each proton and neutron has an atomic mass of approximately 1 AMU (atomic mass units) while an electron has an atomic mass of about 0.0005 AMU. So, you don't need to worry about the electrons. The atomic number of an element is simply the number of protons in the atom. So, atomic mass (number of protons and neutrons) minus atomic number (number of protons) equals number of neutrons in an atom.
Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons that make up an atom. The neutron number is only the number of neutrons present in the atom. This can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass.
