This is Carbon-12 (12C) it has a mass of exactly 12 universal Atomic Mass units. It serves as the standard for the universal atomic mass scale.
If you look up carbon on the Periodic Table, you will find that it says 12.011. This difference is because a small amount of carbon has a seventh neutron, which is averaged into the atomic weight given on a periodic table.
This is an radioisotope of carbon - 14C.
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to that of protons. If the atom is negatively charged, add it to the number of electrons; and if positive, subtract.
So the atom is neutral, if an atom had more protons than electrons, then the atom would have a positive charge, and if it had more electrons, then it would have a negative charge,if atoms had a charge, we would get shocked every time we touch something
In any atom,there are protons, neutrons and electrons. As the name would suggest, neutrons carry no charge. Protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. So in an atom that has no charge there has to be an equal number of protons and electrons.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
Zero, the atom would be electrostatically neutral.. the 6 positive charges of the protons are cancelled out by the 6 negatives of the electrons
The atom in a normal state would have two protons to match the two electrons, making the overall charge zero. If the atom is an ion, it would have an mismatched number of protons and electrons, giving it a positive or negative overall charge.
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to that of protons. If the atom is negatively charged, add it to the number of electrons; and if positive, subtract.

That atom is Arsenic. It would have 33 electrons.
The number of protons can not be changed in an atom, while the number of electrons can be.
Electrons, Protons, and Neutrons.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
no a neutral atom does not have more protons than it does atoms. if it really were neutral it would have the equal amount of electrons and protons. if an atom had more protons than neutrons, it would be a positive atom and vice versa. so to answer this question. NO A NEUTRAL ATOM DOES NOT HAVE MORE PROTONS THAN NEUTRONS.
Zero, the atom would be electrostatically neutral.. the 6 positive charges of the protons are cancelled out by the 6 negatives of the electrons
Protons and Neutrons compose the nucleus of the atom. They are surrounded by a cloud of electrons. If our universe was an atom, the sun would be the nucleus (with protons and neutrons) and the orbiting planets would be the electrons.
protons, because the protons are positive and the electrons are negative so to have a neutral atom the protons and electrons must be balanced
