Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, which means it has 8 protons. Given a neutrally charged atom, the atomic number will be equal to the number of electrons, so again, there are 8 electrons. Ionized oxygen, which is still the same element, has gained or lost electrons such that it has a net positive charge (more protons than electrons) or negative charge (more electrons than protons). The primary isotope of oxygen, Oxygen-16 (that number being the sum of protons and neutrons), also has 8 neutrons. Rarer isotopes have fewer or greater numbers of neutrons with the same number of protons, but for the purposes of your question, 8 neutrons is the answer.
No, carbon can not have 8 protons. The number of protons in an element can not vary. Carbon can only have 6 protons (the atomic number). If an element has 8 protons, it is oxygen.
An element's atomic number gives its number of protons. Oxygen's atomic number is 8. Thus, it has 8 protons.
8 electrons and 8 protons.
8 electrons and 8 protons
Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are atoms of carbon, different isotopes of the element. Carbon owes its chemical identity, indeed, its elemental identity, to the number of protons in its nucleus. There are 6 of them. No more, no less. Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Carbon 14 has fewer protons than neutrons.
The number has 1 thousand. It has 8 more hundreds than thousands so it has 8 more hundreds than 1. That is, it has 9 hundreds. It has 1 fewer tens than hundreds so it has 1 fewer tens than 9. That is, it has 8 tens.It has 2 fewer ones than tens so it has 2 fewer ones than 8. That is, it has 6 ones. So the number is 1986.
I think the number that has 8 thousands 6 fewer than thousands 2 fewer than the thousands and four more units than hundreds is 8624.

Yes, a hexagon has 6 sides, and an octagon has 8. A hexagon has two fewer sides than the octagon.
there are 8 protons in an oxygen atom
The number is 8,413
849 has 8 hundreds, 4 fewer tens than hundreds, and 5 more ones than tens.
Oxygen has 8 protons in the atom.
