How do i find how many protons, electrons and neutrons are in an element? |

Answer» Answer: For example, a TYPICAL carbon ATOM has six protons and six neutrons, and it has an ATOMIC weight of 12 amu. A carbon also has six electrons, but they are so small that they don't contribute to carbon's weight. An element is DEFINED by the NUMBER of protons in its nucleus. ⁰ |
