To determine which element has six protons and six neutrons, we turn to the Periodic Table. The elements are arranged by increasing Atomic Number, which tells us the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.

The Atomic Number equals the number of protons for an element: Atomic Number = Number of Protons

By looking at the Atomic Number, we find that Carbon (C) is the element with six protons. So Carbon is the element we are looking for.

Protons are positively charged particles that determine the identity of an element, while neutrons contribute to the atom's mass. In this case, with six neutrons, the total mass number is 12, which corresponds to Carbon-12, the most common isotope of Carbon.

Rules:

Atomic Number = Number of Protons
Number of Protons = Number of Electrons (for a neutral element)
Mass Number = Number of Protons + Neutrons
