How many electrons are in the first shell of an atom of oxygen?
Oxygen has 8 electrons (assuming its charge is 0), and in the first shell ("closest" to the nucleus) there are 2 electrons. :)
How do the atoms of oxygen and hydrogen different?
oxygen we breathe and so the atoms are like gas and hydrogen is a molecule like air.
How do you calculate number of electrons required for the reaction?
For each element, the number of protons it has is equal to the number of electrons it has. However, if the atom has a different amount of electrons, then the charge will tell you that. If the charge is negative (-) then that says how many electrons the atom has gained, and if the charge is positive (+) then that says how many electrons the atom has lost.
What is the nucleus element With 8 electrons?
The answer must be oxygen, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
How do you draw an atom of oxygen?
two electrons on the closest ring to the nucleus, five on the next ring
What subatomic particles are responsible for the mass of oxygen?
Mass of oxygen or any atom is mostly tied up in the nucleus and largely attributed to neutrons and protons. A smaller amount of mass is contributed by electrons in orbitals outside the nucleus.
6 The atomic number of oxygen is 8 because oxygen has?
The atomic number of oxygen is 8 because oxygen has 8 protons in its nucleus.The atomic number of a chemical element (also known as its proton number) is always the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom of that element, and identical to the charge number of the nucleus. It is conventionally represented by the symbol Z.The Atomic Number is a count of how many Protons are present in an atom of an element.The element Oxygen has 8 Protons in its atomic nucleus and therefore has an Atomic Number of 8.Note: in an electrically neutral atom the number of electrons in the electron cloud exactly matches the number of Protons in the nucleus of the atom, therefore electrically neutral oxygen will also have 8 electrons.
How many electrons are in the first shell of an atom of oxygen?
Oxygen has 8 electrons (assuming its charge is 0), and in the first shell ("closest" to the nucleus) there are 2 electrons. :)
Oxygen has eight protons in its nucleus. calculate the number of neutrons and electrons in a neutral oxygen 16 atoms?
Oxygen-16 has 8 electrons and 8 neutrons.
Which particle in atom dose not contain oxygen?
An atomic nucleus contain protons, neutrons and electrons - not oxygen.
How do the atoms of oxygen and hydrogen different?
oxygen we breathe and so the atoms are like gas and hydrogen is a molecule like air.
How are electrons in an Oxygen atom arranged?
In an Oxygen Atom there are two rings on which the Electrons orbit around the Nucleus, there is the inner ring and the outer ring. The inner ring closest to the Nucleus contains two Electrons and on the outer ring there are six Electrons making a total of eight Electrons, which is equal to the amount of Neutrons and Protons in the Nucleus (8 Neutrons, 8 Protons). This should answer the Question.
How do you draw a bohr model of oxygen?
Oxygen has 8 electrons when it is neutral. 1. Draw the nucleus (just a circle) and two rings around the nucleus. 2. 2 electrons belong in the first ring (closest to the nucleus) 3. 6 electrons go in the outer ring. 2 electrons on two sides and one electron on 2 sides.
What type of gas has 8 protons and 8 neutrons?
It is Oxygen. Oxygen contains 8 Protons and 8 Neutrons in the Nucleus. It also has 8 Electrons orbiting on two rings around the nucleus. The closest ring (to the nucleus) has two Electrons orbiting, and the furthest ring has six Electrons orbiting. This should answer the Question.
How do you know that there is 8 electrons on the oxygen atom?
In an atom, the electrons spin around the center, also called the nucleus.
How do you calculate number of electrons required for the reaction?
For each element, the number of protons it has is equal to the number of electrons it has. However, if the atom has a different amount of electrons, then the charge will tell you that. If the charge is negative (-) then that says how many electrons the atom has gained, and if the charge is positive (+) then that says how many electrons the atom has lost.
How many electron does oxygen have?
An electrically neutral oxygen atom has eight electrons, one for each proton in its nucleus. Two electrons are in the inner shell and six are in the outer shell.
