If the following atoms are isotopes of carbon, how many electrons will be in each isotope... ( see below)?

Different isotopes do not effect the number of electrons ociated with an element. All of the isotopes listed would still require 6 electrons to form a neutral atom with the 6 protons in each carbon nucleus. The lower left number is the atomic number, which is the number of protons so it will be 6.
