Using the periodic table , what is the name of the following atom? (Red = Protons / Grey = Neutrons / Blue = Electrons)

Question

There are 6 red ones in the middle of the atom. Another 6 grey ones mixed in with it. There are two on the second layer on the line of the circle, and on the outer circle there are two more of the blue ones. What atom is this?

Answer 1

Based on your description, the atom has 6 protons (red), which means it is carbon, as carbon's atomic number is 6. The atom also has 6 neutrons (grey), indicating that it is the isotope carbon-12 (the most common isotope of carbon, which has 6 protons and 6 neutrons). Finally, there are 6 electrons (blue) in the atom, which is typical for a neutral carbon atom.

So, the atom you are describing is carbon (specifically, carbon-12).
