The atomic number of carbon is 6 and number of neutron is equal to 6.

1.	The atomic number of carbon is 6 and number of neutron is equal to 6. Find the atomic mass or mass number of carbon.
Answer» Since atomic number of carbon = 6 Therefore, number of proton = 6 Now, Atomic mass = number of proton + number of neutron Or, Atomic mass or mass number = 6 + 6 = 12 u Thus, mass number or atomic mass of carbon = 12u

The atomic number of carbon is 6 and number of neutron is equal to 6. Find the atomic mass or mass number of carbon.

Answer»

Since atomic number of carbon = 6

Therefore, number of proton = 6

Now, Atomic mass = number of proton + number of neutron

Or, Atomic mass or mass number = 6 + 6 = 12 u

Thus, mass number or atomic mass of carbon = 12u
