How many eletrons are in oxygen?

An oxygen atom has always 8 electrons (unless it's an ion where it has picked up 2 electrons and carries a -2 charge).In an O2 molecule there are 2*8 = 16 electrons and in an O3 molecule there are 3*8 = 24 electrons.


How many bonds and non bonds are in the molecule SiOH2?

Si will have two bonds to the two Hydrogens, and a double bond to the Oxygen. The Oxygen will have two pairs of unpaired valence electrons.


How many protons electrons neutrons are in a molecule of carbon dioxide how many in a molecule of calcium nitrate?

Carbon Dioxide has the formula of CO2, which means 1 Carbon atom and 2 Oxygen atom per CO2 molecule. Carbon12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons per atom. Oxygen has 8 protons, 8 neutrons and 8 electrons per atom. One CO2 molecule contains 22 protons, 22 neutrons and 22 electrons. Calcium Nitrate has the formula of Ca(NO3)2. Calcium contains 20 of each. Nitrogen contains 7 of each. Oxygen contains 8 of each. Per molecule there are 1 calcium, 2 Nitrogen and 6 oxygen. Therefore: 20 + (2x7) + (6x8) = 20 + 14 + 48 = 72 protons, 72 Neutrons and 72 electrons. I hope that answers your question.

How many protons neutrons and electrons are in H2O?

A water molecule has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The proton, neutron and electron count of them are 1,0,1 and 8,8,8 respectively. Therefore a molecule of water has 10 protons, 8 neutrons and 10 electrons.
