No. Nitrogen and oxygen are two different elements. The identity of an element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. A nitrogen atom has 7 protons while an oxygen atom has 8. Isotopes are variations of the atoms of a given element that differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.

What do you call an oxygen atom with more than 8 neutrons?
it would be an isotope of oxygen, it is pretty uncommen to have an isotope of oxygen other than oxygen-8 but the most commen isotope after that is oxygen-9 (oxygen with 9 neutrons).
What atom has 7 protons and 8 neutrons?
An atom of nitrogen-15 (15N), an isotope of regular nitrogen. It occurs naturally and is stable, but is comparatively rare, showing up in about 37 out of every 10,000 nitrogen atoms.
Is this true that a normal atom of oxygen has a mass of 16 the isotope oxygen 18 and protons 18?
true
Is nitrogen a isotope ion or nuteral atom?
Nitrogen doesn't start out as a cation/anion, but it is in group 5A, so it has five valence electrons. To become stable (have a complete octet), it either has to lose five electrons or gain three. It is easier to gain three, so it gains three and becomes a 3- anion.
What elements does nitrogen have?
nitrogen, carbon, oxygen are what make up nitrogen dioxide.
Is nitrogen an neutral atom or an ion?
Neutral atom. An atom of nitrogen will also be an isotope of nitrogen.
Why in a water molecule is the oxygen atom bigger then the nitrogen atom?
First of all, there is no nitrogen in a water molecule. A water molecule consists of one oxygen atom combined with two hydrogen atoms. Also known as H2O. However, it is also true that an oxygen atom is slightly bigger than a nitrogen atom. Oxygen has one more proton, and one more electron than nitrogen does. Neutron quantities vary, since there is more than one isotope of both oxygen and nitrogen.
Does oxygen contain one atom of nitrogen?
no oxygen is an element of one atom and that's an oxygen atom
What happens when a hydrogen atom covalently bonds to one oxygen or nitrogen atom is attracted to another oxygen or nitrogen atom?
hyrdrogen bonds.
What is the formula for the compound nitrogen monoxide?
The formula is is 'NO'. The 'N' comes from one Nitrogen atom, and the O from one Oxygen(Monoxide) atom. If NO is exposed to oxygen, it will take on an extra Oxygen atom and become NO2. (Nitrogen Dioxide)
What do you call an oxygen atom with more than 8 neutrons?
it would be an isotope of oxygen, it is pretty uncommen to have an isotope of oxygen other than oxygen-8 but the most commen isotope after that is oxygen-9 (oxygen with 9 neutrons).
What describes an isotope of the commonly occuring oxygen atom which has 8 electrons 8 protons and 8 neutrons?
what is an isotope? An isotope is a different form of an element's atom that does not change the identity of the atom. I believe that the isotope would be Oxygen-16 due to the atomic mass of such an atom.
What atom has 7 protons and 8 neutrons?
An atom of nitrogen-15 (15N), an isotope of regular nitrogen. It occurs naturally and is stable, but is comparatively rare, showing up in about 37 out of every 10,000 nitrogen atoms.
What atom shows similar properties to oxygen?
A Nitrogen atom shows the most similar properties to an Oxygen atom.
How is the molecular formula NO different from the molecular formula N2O?
A single nitrogen atom can be chemically reactive while a nitrogen molecule is relatively stable and tends to be faf more inert. A nitrogen molecule also has twice the mass of a nitrogen atom.
Is An atom of Nitrogen with 7 protons 7 neutrons and 8 electrons an ion isotope or average atom?
It would be an ion.
How many molecules of oxygen are in nitrogen dioxide?
Two with one atom of Nitrogen
