An oxygen atom has 8 of each neutrons, electrons, and protons. While a carbon atom has only 6 of each. I had the same problem! So i hope this helped :)
Yes it is. Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons, while carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons (on average). Therefore, because oxygen has more protons and neutrons it is bigger.
An oxygen atom is about 2% bigger than a hydrogen atom.
Yes, carbon atoms are larger than hydrogen atoms.
Carbon and oxygen are elements which are composed of atoms.
carbon is bigger
yes it is one of the bigger ones actually
Yes
A hydrogen atom has a diameter of about 60 picometers while a proton has a diameter of 1.75 femotometers. So a hydrogen atom's diameter is about 35,000 times that of a proton.
Water is H2O and hydrogen perioxide is H2O2 hydrogen peroxide has one more oxygen atom than water.
Because, unless bonded to another hydrogen atom, the "covalent" bond is actually partially ionic, meaning the electron shared in the bond tends to spend more time close to the other atom making the hydrogen partially positive. This is due to electronegativity. Most other atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen, meaning they have a stronger attractive force for electrons than hydrogen does, so the other atom pulls on the hydrogen more strongly and ends up being more negative in the bonding pair than hydrogen.
A negative charge that exists because of a covalent bond with hydrogen
Water is H2O and hydrogen perioxide is H2O2 hydrogen peroxide has one more oxygen atom than water.
Hydrogen atoms are the smallest known elements, and therefore smaller than oxygen atoms (according to atomic weight and atomic mass).
First of all, there is no nitrogen in a water molecule. A water molecule consists of one oxygen atom combined with two hydrogen atoms. Also known as H2O. However, it is also true that an oxygen atom is slightly bigger than a nitrogen atom. Oxygen has one more proton, and one more electron than nitrogen does. Neutron quantities vary, since there is more than one isotope of both oxygen and nitrogen.
No, it is inverse.

In a water molecule, the oxygen atom shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms, but it does not share equally since it has a stronger attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does, and the electrons therefore have a greater probability of being close to the oxygen nucleus than to the hydrogen nuclei. As a result, the oxygen atom has a negative charge. The hydrogen atoms are positively charged.
A single oxygen atom is smaller than a molecule.
A hydrogen atom has a diameter of about 60 picometers while a proton has a diameter of 1.75 femotometers. So a hydrogen atom's diameter is about 35,000 times that of a proton.
A hydrogen only has one valence electron, while oxygen has 6.
Because an alpha particle is bigger than a helium or hydrogen atom.
Water is H2O and hydrogen perioxide is H2O2 hydrogen peroxide has one more oxygen atom than water.

Electronegativity differences.There are more protons in an oxygen atom than in a hydrogen atom, so any electrons being shared between them (as in the covalent bond) are more likely to be near the oxygen atom than the hydrogen atoms.This results in a slight net negative charge surrounding the oxygen atom, and slight net positive charges surrounding the hydrogen atoms.
