That would depend on how many protons exist in the nucleus of the atom. An atom with 6 protons is a carbon atom; 7 protons is nitrogen, and 8 = oxygen.

When an oxygen atom is attached to a carbon atom the carbon atom becomes more .?

When an oxygen atom is attached to a carbon atom, the carbon atom becomes more electronegative. This is because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon, causing it to attract electrons towards itself, making the carbon atom more electron-deficient.
