What element has atomic mass of 16 and 8 neutrons?
If you had looked in the periodic table, you would have seen that the element Oxygen has an atomic mass of 16 (or more precisely 15.9994) and if you were to take that atomic mass and subtract the atomic number from it (i.e. 8) you would get a difference of 8 which is the number of neutrons it contains. In short, oxygen is that element.
How many protons and neutrons are in 2 oxygen isotopes with a mass number of sixteen and seventeen?
Isotopes are different forms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. The atomic number of oxygen is 8. So both oxygen-16 and oxygen-17 have 8 protons (and 8 electrons). You get the number of neutrons by subtracting the mass number by the atomic number, so they would have 8 and 9 neutrons respectively.
What is the name of the gas that has atomic mass 16 and 8 neutrons?
That would be oxygen (16O).
To find the number of neutrons in an atom you would subtract what?
You would subtract the atomic number from the mass number.
If oxygen had 10 neutrons what would be its atomic mass?
10

How many protons electron and neutrons are in the element oxygen?
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.
What is the amount of protons neutrons electrons in oxygen?
8 protons 8 electrons and 8 neutrons. Oxygen has the atomic number 8, so it has 8 protons, 8 electrons. The number of neutrons would be mass number-atomic number, so 15.9994-8=7.9994, so rounding would be 8 neutrons.
Sn isotope of oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and an atomic weight of 18. how many neutrons does it have?
The atomic number of an isotope is the number of protons it contains, whereas the mass number is the total mass of the nucleus, which is the combined number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. To find the number of neutrons, you must therefore subtract the atomic number of the isotope from the mass number of the isotope.In the above example, the atomic number is 8 and the mass number is 18. This isotope is known as O18. The number of neutrons in the isotope is: Mass number - Atomic number = Number of neutrons18 - 8 = 10

If an isotope of oxygen has 8 protons 10 neutrons and 8 electrons its mass number is?
This certain isotope of oxygen would have a mass of about 18 because electrons weigh almost nothing.
What describes an isotope of the commonly occuring oxygen atom which has 8 electrons 8 protons and 8 neutrons?
what is an isotope? An isotope is a different form of an element's atom that does not change the identity of the atom. I believe that the isotope would be Oxygen-16 due to the atomic mass of such an atom.
What is the charge of the nucleus in an atom of oxygen 17?
8+ because O-17 is an isotope of oxygen. but the atomic number of an isotope is the same as the original atom and the atomic number tells the number of protons. since Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, the charge of the nucleus would also be 8+
What is the atomic number of an atom that has 10 neutrons 8 protons and 8 electrons?
It would be 8, and it is the element oxygen. The atomic number is simply the number of protons in the element.
