An atom of oxygen has 8 electrons, an O2 Molecule would therefore have 15, I think.

How many electrons does a neutral oxygen -18 have?

A neutral oxygen atom usually has 8 protons and 8 electrons. In oxygen-18 isotope, the number of protons remain the same (8), but the number of neutrons is increased to 10, making it oxygen-18. So, a neutral oxygen-18 atom would still have 8 electrons.

When an atom is charged it is called an ion how many electrons are in oxygen?

A neutral oxygen atom has 8 electrons. When oxygen becomes an ion, it can gain 2 electrons to become O2-, losing the neutral 8 electrons to become a total of 10 electrons in the ion.

How many electrons does a neutral atom of oxygen (O) usually have in its outer orbit 6?

6

How many electrons are in a oxygen atom?

There are 8 electrons in a single neutral oxygen atom.The atomic number of oxygen is 8, because it has 8 protons in its nucleus. In an elemental, neutral, atom of oxygen the number of electrons will match the number of protons. There are 8 electrons in a neutral oxygen atom.Note that oxygen can become an ion under certain circumstances, and we need to specify the neutral atom to state how many electrons there are in oxygen.

How many electrons does a neutral atom of oxygen usually have in it's outer orbit?

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. These are in the outer orbit.

How many electrons will surround the nucleus of a neutral atom of the isotope 18 of oxygen?

Each isotope of oxygen (15 to 19) has the same number of protons (8), hence the neutral atoms have 8 electrons.

How many electrons in oxygen-16?

Oxygen-16 has 16 electrons (the 16 refers to the number of electrons, so Oxygen-15 if it exist, will have 15 valence electrons)

How many valence electron does oxygenatoms have?

A neutral oxygen atom has six valence electrons.

What is the element whose atom has 8 electrons when neutral?

The number of electrons corresponds to the "index" number of the element in the periodic table. The 8th element is Oxygen, which has 8 atoms when neutral. That didnt answer the question. ANSWER Neon has 8 electrons :)
