The number of protons, neutrons and electrons in C 6 13 respectively are

The number of protons, neutrons and electrons in C613 respectively are
  1. 6,7,6
  2. 13,6,6
  3. 6,7,13
  4. 6,6,13

Solution

We know that the number of proton and number of electrons are same as the atomic number in case of neutral atom while the number of neutrons can be determined by the subtracting the number of protons to the mass number.

Therefore,

Number of proton and electrons in C613 is 6

Number of neutrons in C613 = 13-6 = 7
