Carbon 16 nuclear structure
Nuclear structure of

Carbon 16 

isotope (half life = 0.747 s). Move mouse on image for Carbon 16 nuclear structure decay form

Blue toruses = 16 protons
Red toruses = 10 nuclear electrons

Atomic number of C16 = protons (16) - nuclear electrons (10) = (6), with structure H3 H3 He4 H3 H3

Carbon 16 decays by electron emission (left side on decay form) of Carbon 16 decay form via N16 transitional

with delayed neutron emission of N16 trans to Nitrogen 15 (stable) isotope
