Answer:
The subatomic particles in the nucleus of a carbon atom are protons and neutrons.
Explanation:
The atomic nucleus contains protons and usually neutrons (except for hydrogen-1 (protium) atoms. The number of protons is an element's atomic number and is the same for all atoms of an element. Carbon has atomic number 6. So all atoms of carbon have 6 protons in their atomic nuclei. Carbon atoms also contain neutrons in their atomic nuclei, which may number 6, 7, or 8.
