Protons, Nuetrons & Electrons

It has an atomic number of 6. That means a carbon atom has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons.

Were it can be found?& How it can be made?

Carbon can be found on Earth, most carbon is stored in rocks and sediments, while the rest is located in the ocean, atmosphere, and in living organisms. The process for making carbon fibers is part chemical and part mechanical. The precursor is drawn into long strands or fibers and then heated to a very high temperature without allowing it to come in contact with oxygen. Without oxygen, the fiber cannot burn.
