O2- ion has a total of 10 electrons.
Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons in its atom.
8 protons
the # of protons and electrons is 8 as it is shown on the periodic table of elements.
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.
oxygen is a element one the periodic table, as such it is made up of protons electrons and neutrons. so there are protons in oxygen but there is not oxygen in protons.
Oxygen has: 8 neutrons 8 protons (8 electrons)
1 atom of oxygen contains 8 protons and 8 electrons.
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.
it has 4 protons and 15 electrons!!!Ans 2.Oxygen has 8 protons.p.s. like all atoms, it has the same number of electrons as protons : 8.
8 electrons and 8 protons
Oxygen actually has 8 protons, which are positively charged, and in its neutral state, it also has 8 negatively charged electrons. This balance of protons and electrons results in a neutral overall charge for the oxygen atom. If oxygen were to lose electrons, it would become positively charged, but in its standard form, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
Oxygen-17 has 8 protons, 8 electrons and 9 neutrons.
