How many atoms are in carbon?

Carbon-12 is of particular importance in its use as the standard from which atomic masses of all nuclides are measured. Its mass number is 12 by definition and contains 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. read more

The atoms of carbon can bond together in different ways, termed allotropes of carbon. The best known are graphite, diamond, and amorphous carbon. The physical properties of carbon vary widely with the allotropic form. For example, graphite is opaque and black while diamond is highly transparent. read more

there is always 6.022x10^23 atoms in 1 mole of any substance. it is called Avogadro's number. it takes 12.01 grams of Carbon to contain this many atoms of carbon. in nitrogen you need 14.01 grams to equal the same amount the mass of 1 mole of any subatance is its atomic mass. example. read more

One mole of any element/compound has mass equal to its gram atomic/molecular mass. We know that Carbon has atomic mass equal to 12g, I. E. One mole of carbon atom weighs 12g. read more
