Answer #1

Pure Carbon as such never forms ions whereas, if in molecular form it may form carbanion and carbocation. Carbon has 6 electrons revolving around the nuclious and 6 protons in its nuclious. Thus carbanion or carbon with one nigative charge (hypothetical ion of carbon) will have 6 protons and 7 electrons in its atom. Formal charge is nothing but the addition of number of protons and electrong with specific charges on each.

Thus answer to your Q: (hypothetical) carbon ion (C-1) forms by having 6 nutrons and 7 electrons.

The nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons (no electrons). A nucleus of a carbon‑12 isotope contains six protons and six neutrons, while a nitrogen‑14 nucleus comprises seven protons and seven neutrons. A graduate student performs a nuclear physics experiment in which she bombards nitrogen‑14 nuclei with very high speed carbon‑12 nuclei emerging from a particle accelerator. As a result of each such collision, the two nuclei disintegrate completely, and a mix of different particles are emitted, including...
