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.

When an atom has seven protons how many electrons does it have?

Generally an atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Nitrogen has seven protons.


35 protons how many electrons?

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.


How many electrons has an atom?

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.


How many protons and electrons are contained in an atom of element ruthenium?

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.

How many electrons and protons are there in potassium?

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.


If an atom of an element has six protons and eight neutrons how many electrons is in this atom if its neutral?

When we consider charged particles, we are only concerned with protons and electrons. Neutrons have no charge, so they don't contribute to a positive or negative charge. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. They are both equally positive and negative, that is to say one proton cancels out the charge of one electron. So as long as there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, the particle will be neutral. If there are six protons, then there needs to be six electrons in order to be neutral.
