The atomic number of oxygen is 8, which means that there are 8 protons in the nucleus of an oxygen atom. Mass number = protons + neutrons, therefore neutrons = mass number - protons = 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons.
Oxygen-16 has 16 electrons (the 16 refers to the number of electrons, so Oxygen-15 if it exist, will have 15 valence electrons)
Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
There are 8 neutrons in an oxygen-16 atom. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and with an atomic mass of 16, it is simple to calculate the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number (8) from the atomic mass (16). The 16 - 8 = 8.
Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
oxygen isn't a family name, but the number of the group that oxygen is in is 16
This element is oxygen (O).
How do you use an exponent to represent a number such as 16
The atomic number of oxygen is 8, which means that there are 8 protons in the nucleus of an oxygen atom. Mass number = protons + neutrons, therefore neutrons = mass number - protons = 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons.
Oxygen-16 has 16 electrons (the 16 refers to the number of electrons, so Oxygen-15 if it exist, will have 15 valence electrons)
The most common isotope of oxygen has a mass number of 16. This isotope, known as oxygen-16, accounts for over 99% of naturally occurring oxygen atoms.
Oxygen-16 IS an isotope of oxygen. If you meant to ask the number of isotopes of oxygen, the answer is 3. They are Oxygen-16, -17 and -18. Oxygen-16 is the most abundant of the isotopes.
That would be oxygen (16O).
Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
Yes, the hexadecimal number 16.
There are 8 neutrons in an oxygen-16 atom. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and with an atomic mass of 16, it is simple to calculate the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number (8) from the atomic mass (16). The 16 - 8 = 8.
Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
