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.
An Oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 electrons 1 Proton = +1 8 protons = +8 1 electron = -1 8 electrons = -8 Net charge = 0 Oxygen ion has 8 protons and 10 electrons 8 protons = +8 8 electrons = -10 Net charge = -2
The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons added together. Electrons are not counted as part of the mass because while protons and neutrons weigh the same, Electrons weigh virtually nothing compared to them. As far as I can tell, there is no stable atom with a mass of 8.
The bohr Rutherford diagram for oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. There are 2 electrons on the first orbital and six on the second. The bohr Rutherford diagram for oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. There are 2 electrons on the first orbital and six on the second.

Each hydrogen atom has 1 protons and the lone oxygen atom has 8 protons (because it is atomic number 8) making for a grand total of 10 protons in each H2O molecule.
Oxygen has 8 electrons (2 in the inner shell, 6 in the outer).
Oxygen has 8 protons- the atomic number is the number of protons an atom has. A single oxygen atom contains 8 electrons to balance this charge, but oxygen is diatomic- meaning it will be O2 instead of just one Oxygen molecule.
