Question

6. List What types of
particles make up a
carbon atom?

Answer 1

The subatomic particles in the nucleus of a carbon atom are protons and neutrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The atomic nucleus contains protons and usually neutrons (except for hydrogen-1 (protium) atoms. The number of protons is an element's atomic number and is the same for all atoms of an element. Carbon has atomic number 6. So all atoms of carbon have 6 protons in their atomic nuclei. Carbon atoms also contain neutrons in their atomic nuclei, which may number 6, 7, or 8.
