∙ 13y agoNucleon is the collective name for protons and neutrons. In an oxygen atom there are 8 protons and there are usually 8 neutrons. That gives 16 nucleons in a typical atom of oxygen.

∙ 12y agoAn atom of oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons; the number of neutrons is variable for each isotope (possible from 4 to 18).
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoOxygen has 8 protons and electrons. The number of neutrons is variable and specific for each isotope.
Number of neutrons in an oxygen isotope = Mass number - 8

What are the two particles in a nucleus called?
The two types of particles in the nucleus are called protons and neutrons.
How many electrons are present outside the nucleus of the oxygen atom?
Oxygen, atomic number 8 has 8 electrons. These are all outside the nucleus. So the answer is eight.
What element has 19 protons 35 electrons 2 neutrons and 201 particles in the nucleus?
No element could possibly fit this description. There are WAY too many electrons and no where near 201 particles in the nucleus.
What particles are at the center of an atom?
Atoms contain three different sub-atomic particles. Protons, which are particles with a positive charge, and neutrons, particles with a neutral charge are found in the nucleus at the center of the atom. Surrounding the nucleus are electrons, particles that have negative charge.
What are the three subatomic particles of a molecule?
A molecule contains atoms e.g. water (H2O) The atoms, ( hydrogen and oxygen, and all other atoms) contain protons, neutrons in the nucleus of the atoms and electrons in energy shells around the nucleus. Protons, neutrons and electrons are sub-atomic particles.
How many elements of oxygen does a proton have?
Hmm, oxygen is an element and elements can be divided smallest to an atom. Protons are subatomic particles that are in the nucleus of an atom. So the answer to this question is 0. 0 elements of oxygen is within a proton.
How many particles are there in aluminium nucleus?
13
How many particles are in the nucleus of an atom of xenon?
There can be between 124 and 136 particles (neutrons and protons) in the nucleus of a xenon atom.
What particles in the nucleus are neutral?
the particles in the nucleus are Neutrons
How many particles are there in the nucleus of an atom of mercury?
there are 80 protons in the nucleus of an atom of mercury
What subatomic particles are responsible for the mass of oxygen?
Mass of oxygen or any atom is mostly tied up in the nucleus and largely attributed to neutrons and protons. A smaller amount of mass is contributed by electrons in orbitals outside the nucleus.
What is the name of the particles that circles the nucleus of an atom?
Electrons are the particles that circle the nucleus of an atom.
How many particles are located inside the nucleus of an atom?
It varies from element to element. The number of particles is given by the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom.
Which of the atomic particles requires 8 electrons in the outer shell in order to be considered a stable atom?
protons in the nucleus (the nucleus should have 8 protons). It is the oxygen-16 atom.
What particles in the nucleus of the atom?
The particles in the nucleus of an atom are the protonsand the neutrons. We call particles that make up the atomic nucleus nucleons, and this word is just a way to say "the particles that make up an atom's nucleus" in an abbreviated manner.
What keeps particles in nucleus together?
Strong force keeps particles in a nucleus together.
What are particles in the nucleus called?
The two types of particles in the nucleus are called protons and neutrons.
