8 protons
8 electrons and 8 protons
Oxygen has 8 electrons and protons. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope: Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the isotope - Number of protons

8 protons
8 electrons and 8 protons
Oxygen has: 8 neutrons 8 protons (8 electrons)
8 protons, 8 electrons, 8 neutrons in oxygen
Oxygen has 8 protons- the atomic number is the number of protons an atom has. A single oxygen atom contains 8 electrons to balance this charge, but oxygen is diatomic- meaning it will be O2 instead of just one Oxygen molecule.
A negative 2 charge means that the oxygen is richer in two electrons. The configuration of oxygen is: 1s22s22p4 and we can conclude that it has 8 electrons. For the atom to be neutral the amount of protons must be the same. Oxygen atom has 8 neutrons. Let's add the two electrons to the eight, so the oxygen will be on negative 2 charge. To summarize, the amount of electrons - 10, protons- 8, neutrons - 8.
The electrons in an element is the same as the protons and the atomic number. 8

Oxygen has 8 electrons and protons. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope: Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the isotope - Number of protons
O2- ion has a total of 10 electrons.
There are 8 neutrons in oxygen element because the no. of electrons are equal to the number of protons and oxygen element contain 8 electrons.
