It would have 8 electrons because the negative charge and positive charges have to cancel or balance each other out in order to make a stable atom of that element, which would be oxygen.
Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons in its atom.
Generally an atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Nitrogen has seven protons.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
An atom with 35 protons is iodine, which is a neutral atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons, so it also has 35 electrons. Therefore, an atom with 35 protons has 35 electrons.
An atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons, and the number of protons determines what element it is.
A Krypton atom has 36 protons and 36 electrons each.
An atom of ruthenium contains 44 protons and 44 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom determines its identity, and for a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 protons in carbon-12 atom
6 electrons, protons, and neutrons.
Radon has 86 protons and electrons.
A potassium atom has 19 protons and 19 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which for potassium is 19. Electrons in a neutral atom are equal to the number of protons.
A hydrogen atom typically has one proton and one electron, with no neutrons in its most common isotope. An oxygen atom has eight protons, eight electrons, and usually eight neutrons, though there are isotopes of oxygen that may have different numbers of neutrons.
