there are 8 neutrons in every oxygen atom so times it by 16 is actually 128
8 neutrons
8 neutrons
For the standard isotope Oxygen16 O = 16 but atomic number 8 therefore 16-8 = 8 - so 8 neutrons
Phosphorus has 16 neutrons.
Oxygen has: 8 neutrons 8 protons (8 electrons)
Neutral oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons. It's most common isotope is 16O. Thus oxygen usually has 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons.
it however has 15 protons , 15 electrons , and 16 nuetrons
Sulfur
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.
16 - 8 = 8.
since there are 22 protons there has to be 22 nuetrons since there are 22 protons there has to be 22 nuetrons
A phosphorus atom typically contains 16 neutrons. This can be determined by subtracting the atomic number, which is 15 for phosphorus, from its atomic mass, which is usually around 31 for the most commonly occurring isotope.
