how many protons are in a carbon atom?
user
Sure, I'd be happy to help you with that. The number of protons in a carbon atom is always 6. This is because the atomic number of carbon is 6, which means there are 6 protons in the nucleus of each carbon atom. The atomic number is a unique identifier for each chemical element, and it's determined by the number of protons in its nucleus. I hope that helps!
