The number of protons is equal to the atomic number.
The electron and the neutron are the other two constituents of an atom.
The protons and neutrons are at the center of the atom.
Carbon-12 has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus.
The number of neutrons can change in different isotopes of the same element.
Carbon-12 is neutral and has six electrons.
Electrons move around the nucleus and are attracted to protons by electromagnetic force.
Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.
