Protons determine the identity and will never change. If you change the protons you change the element. On the Periodic Table the single digit number beside of the element tells you the number of protons. By looking up 8 on your periodic table you are able to determine that it is Oxygen. However, for you question you mentioned 2 electrons in the first and 8 in the next. If you are referring to the orbits around the nucleus this means that you have two more electrons than you do protons which means you have an ion. Your atom is still Oxygen but it is written like this O-2. The negative two tells you that you have two more electrons than you do protons.

Atoms are positively charged particles that move around electrons?
No. First, atoms have no overall charge (they are electrically neutral) because they have the same number of protons and electrons. Second, there are protons, neutrons and electrons within the atom, and they are collectively termed sub-atomic particles. It is the electrons that move around the nucleus (where the protons and neutrons are).
How do you make a nucleus of the atomic structure of neon?
Neon, with an atomic number of 10, and an atomic mass of roughly 20, will require 10 protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons will be inside the nucleus, or the center of the atom. The electrons will be outside the nucleus in the electron cloud, where a first ring or level will hold 2 and the second will hold 8.
Do isotopes have identical numbers of protons and electron?
Yes, but they have varying amounts of neutrons.
What is the Bohr Model diagram for Nitrogen?
You draw the 7 protons (atomic number is 7 so it has 7 protons), and 7 neutrons (the atomic weight minus the atomic number(14-7=7) so 7 neutrons). You now draw two circles around the protons and neutrons, these are called electron shells. Since nitrogen has 7 electrons you draw 2 in the first ring (the maximum for the first layer), and 5 in the second layer. For example if you had Calcium (atomic number 20), then the electron shells will hold 2 electrons, 8 electrons, 8 electrons, and then 2 electrons. It gets a bit more difficult after 20.
What are the fundamental parts of an atom?
There's the nucleus in the middle, and then an electron cloud surrounding it. there are different levels to the cloud. 2 electrons can fit in the first level, 8 in the second, and there's more in the link below. Electrons are negatively charged. In the nucleus, there are protons and neutrons. Neutrons are neutral, and protons are positively charged. There are the same amount of protons as electrons. If there is a different amount of neutrons than protons, the atom is called an isotope. I have a link of an image that explains some of this (see Related Link below).
What are the parts of Elements?
At the first level, protons, neutrons, and electrons.
How does protons nuetrons and electrons differ?
All have spin one-half. Protons have a charge of positive one; electrons, negative one; neutrons, neutral. Protons and neutrons have about the same mass; electrons are much less massive. Protons and neutrons have an internal structure -- ie, they are composed of quarks -- while electrons are just themselves. The first two are "hadrons" and the latter is a "lepton."
How many protons electrons and neutrons do Caesium have?
Caesium is in the first raw. Atomic number of it is 55. So it has 55 protons.

The discovery of which particle proved that the atom is not indivisible?
Well, I found information under Marie Curie and her husband Pierre Curie. Marie Curie found radium and in that - radioactivity. Radioactivity are really rays or tiny particles emitted by atoms. They discovered if atoms were in fact emitting such rays, it cannot be indivisible. Atoms are actually made up of smaller particles that can be rearranged. I'd check under this lead. Hope this helps! ------------ The atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons. Neutrons and protons contain different types of quarks and gluons.
How can you make a model of bohr's model?
You put the number of protons and neutrons in the middle of the first circle (nucleus). The number of protons and electrons is the Atomic number. Round the atomic mass and subtract it by the number of protons and you have your neutrons. Draw another circle (shell) around the first one. You can only put up to two electrons in the first one. The next two circles you draw can hold up to 8. The last shell can hold 18. EG: Neon There are ten protons, neutrons and electrons. Draw the nucleus first, then write the number of protons and neutrons inside. Draw a shell around the nucleus and place two electrons side by side. Draw another shell around the first one and draw eight electrons around it.

What is the structure of the atom and the position of protons neutrons and electrons?
Protons and neutrons can be found in the centre of the atom in the nucleus. Electrons orbit round the nucleus in shells/orbits and are extremely small compared to the rest of the atom. Protons have a positive +1 charge and neutrons have no charge and are neutral. Electrons have a negative -1 charge. Protons and neutrons give the atom its mass. Each shell has a maximum number of electrons it can take. In the first shell it is 2. In all other shells (up to calcium) the maximum number is 8. An atom can gain or lose electrons, becoming what is known as an ion. An ion is nothing more than an electrically charged atom. Adding or removing electrons from an atom does not change which element it is, just its charge. The number of electrons equals the number of protons. The number of protons is the roton/atomic number. The number of neutrons can be found by subtracting the atomic mass from the atomic number (as the atomic mass it both the protons and neutrons combined.)
What is the Bohr-Rutherford diagram for oxygen?
The bohr Rutherford diagram for oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. There are 2 electrons on the first orbital and six on the second. The bohr Rutherford diagram for oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. There are 2 electrons on the first orbital and six on the second.

What are the three basic particles of an atom?
First Answer: The three basic particles of an atom are protons, neutrons and electrons. The proton and neutron comprises of the nucleus of an atom but electrons revolve around the nucleus continuously. The protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged while the neutrons are neutral. Thus we can say the whole atom is neutral. Second Answer: 1) Proton (Positive) 2) Neutron (Neutral) 3) Electron (Negative)
