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.

A neutral carbon atom contains how many neutrons protons and electrons?
For the isotope carbon-12: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
How many neutrons does the isotope carbon-14 have?
carbon 14 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 8 neutrons.
How many protons neutrons and electrons does carbon-11?
There would be 6 protons and 5 neutrons. Such isotope does not exist though.
How many protons neutrons and electrons in 40 Ar?
18 protons 18 electrons 22 neutrons
How many neutrons does an atom of carbon 14 have?
6 protons [because Carbon is number 6] 6 electrons [because if you want it to be neutral it has to be same as protons number] 8 neutrons [because atomic mass contains neutrons + protons. 14 - 6 = 8]
How many electrons and protons are in a Carbon atom?
6 electrons, protons, and neutrons.
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.
A neutral carbon atom contains how many neutrons protons and electrons?
For the isotope carbon-12: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
How many protons neutrons and elecrons are in carbon?
protons: 6 electrons: 12 neutrons: 6
How many electrons protons and neutrons are in a carbon atom?
6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 protons in carbon-12 atom
How many protons neutrons and electrons in carbon-14?
Carbon 14 has 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and (in the neutral atom) 6 electrons.
How many electrons has carbon 16?
The isotope carbon-16 has 6 protons and electrons and 10 neutrons.
How many neutrons does the isotope carbon-14 have?
carbon 14 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 8 neutrons.
How many protons neutrons and electrons does carbon-11?
There would be 6 protons and 5 neutrons. Such isotope does not exist though.
How many protons neutrons and electrons in 40 Ar?
18 protons 18 electrons 22 neutrons
How many protons electrons and neutrons in C?
Carbon-3 doesn't exist.
