I have this question in my homework but mine has a minus sign after the 2 so if urs does to then it is negative but if it doesnt then it is positive. it has 12 electrons because oxygen has 6 protons + 8 protons (carbon) = 14 -2 = 12 electrons

What charge are protons neutrons and electrons if they are part of carbon?

Protons are always postive, neutrons are always neutral and electrons are always negative. Carbon has no charge because it has as many protons as it has electrons.


How many electrons and protrons in a neutral atom of carbon?

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.


Total Charge of protons in Carbon?

+6 which is neutralized by the electrons outside the nucleus


What is the charge on lithium and carbon atoms?

Lithium atoms carry a charge of +1, as they have 3 protons and 2 electrons. Carbon atoms do not have a net charge, as they have 6 protons and 6 electrons, balancing out the positive and negative charges.


A neutral carbon atom contains how many neutrons protons and electrons?

For the isotope carbon-12: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons


Protons and electrons have this?

Protons and electrons have mass and charge.


How many protons does an atom of Carbon have if it has a plus 2 charge and a mass of 15?

An atom of Carbon with a mass of 15 and a +2 charge must have 13 protons. This is because the atomic number of Carbon is 6, so a neutral Carbon atom would have 6 protons. Since the atom has a +2 charge, it has lost two electrons, making it a cation, and giving it 2 more protons than electrons.


What is protons and neutrons of carbon?

Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus. It is also surrounded by 6 electrons, giving it a neutral charge.


How many protons neutrons and electrons in carbon 12?

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.


What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?

Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.


How many electrons on carbon 14?

Carbon-14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus, making it an isotope of carbon. Since it is a neutral atom, it also has 6 electrons, which balance the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus.
