What element do you get if you add two protons to an oxygen atom?

Let's see, 1hydrogen, 2helium, 3lithium, 4beryllium, 5boron, 6carbon, 7nitrogen, 8oxygen. Eight protons in one atom of oxygen. Oxygen is diatomic, so there would be 16 protons in a typical oxygen "molecule."

Additional answer
Not only that, but you'd also end up with a different element. The number of protons in the atom is specific to that element.

Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe number of protons in an atom determine the atomic number of the element. Oxygen has a number of 8, and making that number 6 makes the element Carbon.

What happens when you add or remove protons in an atom?
you cant add proton to an atom...u can only add electron....
How many electrons does an ion of oxygen have?
First you want to start with how many electrons there are in a neutral atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons, which equals the atomic number, which is eight in this case. When becoming an ion and reacting with other elements in an ionic bond, oxygen will gain two electrons. So we just add two onto the number in a neutral atom for a total of ten.
Why cant a 3 ion of aluminum be made by adding 3 protons to an aluminum atom?
Ions of an element are formed when electrons are added or removed. When protons are added or removed, the element itself is different. Aluminium can form 3+ ion by losing three electrons. Besides, if it was possible to add three protons to aluminium, the species formed will be sulphur atom and not aluminium atom.
What is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons?
If you add the number of protons to the number of neutrons in an atom, you have calculated that atom's atomic mass.
What is the formula to get the number electrons?
The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons or the atomic number. If the element is an ion of e.g O+2, you would take away 2 from the atomic number and if it is O-2, you would add two electrons
How many protons added to the nuclei of oxygen atoms so it will glow red?
An oxygen atom can only have 8 protons. If you were to add any it would no longer be oxygen. But if you were to add 2 protons to it, it would become the element neon. When neon becomes ionized it glows a an orangy-red.

How do you find the atomic mass number of an atom of an element?
add the number of protons and nuetrons together
How do you calculate a mass of am atom?
To calculate the atomic mass of an element, add up the mass of protons and nuetrons.
What happens if you change the number of protons of an element?
The element transforms itself into another element because each element have a specific number of protons. If the number of protons changes, the element changes as well. The number of protons in an atom defines it elemental identity, so if the number of protons in an element increases by one it becomes another element. Although this reference doesn't really provide a direct answer, it does provide additional information that might be of interest: http://www.answers.com/topic/proton
Which particles are found in the nucleus of the atom?
They're called nucleons. The two types of nucleons are protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged nucleons and determine, in an atom, what element that atom is. Neutrons have no charge and just supposedly add mass to an atom.
Do you have to add the protons and electrons in order to find the atomic mass of an atom?
no, you add the protons and neutrons
How do you figure out the weight of combined elements?
To figure out the weight of combined elements, you look at a periodic table to find the atomic masses of each element. Then you add up all of those masses to find the weight of the combined elements.
How many protons electrons and neutrons does oxygen-2 have?
A negative 2 charge means that the oxygen is richer in two electrons. The configuration of oxygen is: 1s22s22p4 and we can conclude that it has 8 electrons. For the atom to be neutral the amount of protons must be the same. Oxygen atom has 8 neutrons. Let's add the two electrons to the eight, so the oxygen will be on negative 2 charge. To summarize, the amount of electrons - 10, protons- 8, neutrons - 8.
How many electrons does an ion of oxygen have?
First you want to start with how many electrons there are in a neutral atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons, which equals the atomic number, which is eight in this case.

what is the mass of an atom with 5 protons and 7 neutrons?
To the find the mass number of an atom you add the protons and neutrons. Meaning that the mass number of this atom is 12.
How would you figure the number of protons or electrons in an atom?
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to that of protons. If the atom is negatively charged, add it to the number of electrons; and if positive, subtract.
