ATOMIC NUMBER: The atomic number of Carbon is 6.
Anne Evans
ATOMIC WEIGHT: The simplified relative atomic mass of Carbon is 12.
The relative atomic mass takes account of the existence of different isotopes.
Various tables of atomic weights are available dependent on whether they take into account the existence of various isotopes and the proportions in which they are found.
The generally-accepted simplified table is linked from "periodic table" on the right, and can be used for all but the most detailed calculations.
Anne Evans
Carbon is present in all known life-forms and the chemical reactions of carbon form the basis of organic chemistry.
