Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ALRIGHT EPIC GAMER IM GONNA INTRODUCE YOU TO THE AWESOME WORLD OF THE PERIODIC TABLE

look at this

6

C

Carbon

12.011

ok so this is what one block on the periodic table looks like

the protons and electrons are going to be the smaller number

so the protons and electrons for carbon are 6

but your question does not ask for electrons so its fine.

How many protons? LOOK AT THE SMALLER NUMBER IN ELEMENT BLOCK ON PERIODIC TABLE.

How many neutrons? Take the bigger number and subtract the smaller number from it. so it would be for carbon: 12.011 - 6 = 12 neutrons.

to find the name of the atom, just count the number of electrons and then look for the element with the same number to find the name
