HELP with this physics/chem question please?

An element is defined by the number of protons it has. Any atom with 6 protons is carbon regardless of how many neutrons it has. Different isotopes of carbon have different numbers of neutrons, but they will always have 6 protons. An atom that has 5 protons is a boron molecule.
