the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in an atom is called its mass number. For carbon-12, this number is _____.

The short notation for carbon-12 is?

Answer:
6. Carbon always has 6 protons no matter what isotope it is. Otherwise it would not be carbon.

The mass number for carbon-12 = 12

Short notation is C, because carbon-12 is the most abundant isotope.
6

this number is 12

12C i think
Carbon's atomic number is six, therefore it has six protons. If you want to know it's mass number then you must add the number of neutrons.

Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons
the number of protons carbon-12 has is 6.the short notation for carbon-12 is carbon.(C-12)
