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.
A carbon-12 atom has 6 electrons. The atomic number of carbon is 6, which determines the number of electrons in a neutral carbon atom.
Carbon has four electrons in its outer shell and needs four more electrons to complete its octet.
Carbon is a non metal element. There are 12 electrons in a single atom.
A carbon atom with the symbol 12C has 6 electrons since the atomic number of carbon is 6, indicating the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom are the same.
The C4- ion has a total of 18 electrons. Carbon normally has 6 electrons, but the negative charge of -4 means that there are 4 extra electrons added to the ion.
In order to be neutral, carbon needs 14 electrons.
4 electrons
Carbon 14 has 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and (in the neutral atom) 6 electrons.
Carbon does not have an atomic number of 14.
Carbon is the group 14, period 2 chemical element. Its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p2. Thus, carbon has 2 electrons in its 2p subshell.
In CH4O, there are 14 valence electrons: 4 from carbon, 1 from hydrogen, and 6 from oxygen.
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.
The carbon group, also known as Group 14 on the periodic table, has four valence electrons. This group includes carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead.
Carbon - 14 has two more electrons than carbon - 12.
Carbon has an atomic number of 6 or 6 electrons. This is an isotope which means it has the same electrons. It is in group 14 so it has 4 valence electrons.
if its not an ion it has 6
False. Carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon that differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei, not electrons. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. The number of electrons in an atom is determined by its atomic number, which is the same for both isotopes of carbon (6 electrons).
