The atomic number of oxygen is 8, which means that there are 8 protons in the nucleus of an oxygen atom. Mass number = protons + neutrons, therefore neutrons = mass number - protons = 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons.

∙ 15y agoThere are 8 neutrons in an oxygen-16 atom. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and with an Atomic Mass of 16, it is simple to calculate the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number (8) from the atomic mass (16). The 16 - 8 = 8.

mass = neutrons + protons
oxygen has roughly 16 protons
16 = neutrons + 16
neutrons = 0
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago8: The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number and the atomic number; for oxygen-16, 16 - 8.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe atomic number of oxygen is 8. So, it has 8 protons always.
