All atoms have a period number assigned, even Carbon. Ok but how do we know what is the period name for an atom of C?
If we know the symbol, let's say C, we may then open any periodic table and search for Carbon. Any decent periodic table should have the period numbers when you scroll left starting from the element you found.
In the case of Carbon the period number is 2. There is a lot of cool stuff about Carbon that people simply don't know. Let me show you...

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. "Period Number of Carbon (C) (& Location, Uses ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>
Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
