Atomic Number For Carbon-12

There are six (6) protons equal to atomic number in Carbon-12. The 12 refers to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons i.e.

What is the atomic number of carbon-14?

Carbon (C) exists as several allotropes, most commonly as Diamond or the gray-black solid Graphite. It has the atomic number 6 in the periodic table and belongs in Group 14.
The atomic number of carbon is 6. Its nucleus must contain: a) 6 neutrons and 6 protons. B) 3 protons and 3 neutrons. C) 6 neutrons and no electrons. D) 6 protons and no electrons. E) 6 protons and 6 electrons.-2. The second orbital shell of an atom can hold electrons.

Explanation:

The atomic number is the number of protons, massive, positively charged nuclear particles, present in the nucleus of an atom. #Z# DEFINES the indentity of the element...#Z=1,##'hydrogen'#; #Z=2,##'helium'#; #Z=3,##'lithium'#; #Z=4,##'beryllium'#; #Z=5,##'boron'#; and #Z=6,##'carbon....'#...etc.. or at least that's what it says on the Periodic Table.

Of course we gots the ISOTOPE, #'^14C#...the nucleus of this isotope has EIGHT neutrons, 8 neutrally-charged massive nuclear particles, the which interact somehow with the protons. #'^14C# occurs with an isotopic abundance of approx. one part in #10^12#...

Explanation:

#'_6^14 C#

The bottom number of the atom is the atomic number which is based on the number of protons.

The 14 is the total mass of the atom. Carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons for a total mass of 14

The atomic number of carbon is 6 and its atomic mass is 12. How many protons are there in the nucleus of carbon?

(A) 06 protons
(B) 12 protons
(C) 18 protons
(D) Zero protons
