Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, which means it has 8 protons. Given a neutrally charged atom, the atomic number will be equal to the number of electrons, so again, there are 8 electrons.
Ionized oxygen, which is still the same element, has gained or lost electrons such that it has a net positive charge (more protons than electrons) or negative charge (more electrons than protons).
The primary isotope of oxygen, Oxygen-16 (that number being the sum of protons and neutrons), also has 8 neutrons.
Rarer isotopes have fewer or greater numbers of neutrons with the same number of protons, but for the purposes of your question, 8 neutrons is the answer.

How many numders of neutrons and electrons does oxygen have?
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
How many neutrons are in the atom of oxygen -18?
8
How many protons and neutrons are in oxygen-17?
8 protons and 9 neutrons (total is the atomic mass number 17). In a neutral atom, 8 electrons. Oxygen-17 is the rarest of the three stable natural isotopes. Most oxygen is oxygen-16 with 8 neutrons.
How many subatomic particles are there in oxygen-18?
Oxygen-18 has 8 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is 10.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in 10 Be?
4 protons, 4 electrons and 6 neutrons.
How many nuetrons and protons are in oxygen?
Oxygen has: 8 neutrons 8 protons (8 electrons)
How many numders of neutrons and electrons does oxygen have?
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
How many neutrons are in the atom of oxygen -18?
8
How many neutron do oxygen has?
8 protons, 8 electrons, 8 neutrons in oxygen
How many protons neutrons and electrons in 40 Ar?
18 protons 18 electrons 22 neutrons
How many protons electrons and neutrons does oxygen-2 have?
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.
How many neutrons and electrons does oxygen-16 have?
8 since the atomic number equals the number of protons!!
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in Ar?
18 protons and electrons and 22 neutrons.
How many protons and neutrons are in oxygen-17?
8 protons and 9 neutrons (total is the atomic mass number 17). In a neutral atom, 8 electrons. Oxygen-17 is the rarest of the three stable natural isotopes. Most oxygen is oxygen-16 with 8 neutrons.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in a molecule of water?
The number of neutrons will vary depending on the isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen in the molecule. The number of protons and electrons will be 10 each in every molecule.
How many neutrons and electrons does an oxygen atom have?
Oxygen has 8 protons . The number of neutrons depends on the isotope. Oxygen-15 isotope has 7 neutrons and oxygen-16 isotope has 8 neutrons. (Note: Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutrons)
How many protons and neutrons isotopes of oxygen?
Oxigen has 8 protons; natural isotopes have 8, 9 an 10 neutrons.
