Asked by Valtz

Answer (2)

There are 6 electrons in an atom of carbon 13. Hope this helps!

A carbon-13 atom has 6 electrons. This is because the atomic number of carbon is 6, which corresponds to the number of protons and, in a neutral atom, the same number of electrons. The presence of extra neutrons in the isotope does not change the number of electrons.
