Number of protons Z = 30 Number of protons + neutrons A = 64 Number of neutrons N = 64 - 30 = 34 Since this is a nucleus there are no electrons There are 30 protons and 34 neutrons.
The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.
