There are always 8 protons in Oxygen. This is represented by the atomic number of oxygen. As for electrons , they are often represented by the atomic number in the neutral form, 8, but if the oxygen atom is a ion it would have 10 electrons. For neutrons the average Atomic Mass is 16.01, neutrons are found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass, so 16.01-8=8.01, there 8.01 average neutrons in oxygen, but in isotopes oxygen can have differnet amounts of neutrons, the mainest is 8 neutrons.

How many protons electron and neutrons does oxygen?
Oxygen is a p block element. It has 8 protons and neutrons.
What element has 8 neutrons 8 protons?
The element that has 8 protons and 8 neutrons is oxygen.
What element has 8 protons and 8 neutrons and is a gas?
Oxygen is the only element with 8 protons.
What element that has 8 protons and 8 neutrons?
The element that has 8 protons and 8 neutrons is oxygen.
Is oxygen a element of mixture or is it a electron nuetron or is it a isotopes?
Oxygen is an element. It is made up of 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons. If there is a variation in the number of neutrons it becomes one of oxygen's isotopes. If you are referring to "molecular oxygen," which occurs in our atmosphere, it has the chemical formula O2 and is a compound.
Is there oxygen in a proton?
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.
What are the atomic number and mass number if the number of electron in an element oxygen is 8 and the number of neutrons is 9?
The atomic number is 8 (the number of protons, which for oxygen is equal to the number of electrons) and the mass number is 17 (the combined number of protons and neutrons).
A gas element with 8 protons and 8 neutrons?
Oxygen
What does the protons and neutrons tell you about the oxygen atom?
protons will tell the atomic number (8) the sum of protons and neutrons will give the mass number of the element
Are Atoms of one element are different from atoms of other elements?
Yes. Atoms are unique to whichever element they compose. They have different amounts of electrons, protons and (neutrons). For Example: Hydrogen Atom: 1 electron, 1 proton. Oxygen Atom: 8 electrons, 8 protons, 8 neutrons.
How many nuetrons are in the element oxygen?
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.
What element that is a gas has eight protons and eight neutrons?
Oxygen. The Elements Atomic Number tells you the number of protons and it's amu is generally the weight of all of the averaged isotopes so since it is nearly 16 (not all O's have 8 neutrons) it is Oxygen.
