How many protons are in an oxygen-16 nucleus?
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.
Why is 16 oxygen mass number?
Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
How many electrons in oxygen-16?
Oxygen-16 has 16 electrons (the 16 refers to the number of electrons, so Oxygen-15 if it exist, will have 15 valence electrons)
How is the nucleus of oxygen-18 atom different to the nucleus of oxygen-16 atom?
The difference between Oxygen - 15 and Oxygen - 16 is that of Isotope. Oxygen's atomic number is 8 as it contains 8 proton but the neutron number may vary in order to form an isotope, the oxygen found in the air is 98 percent oxygen 16, the rest is oxygen 15. Oxygen 16 = 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons. 16 is the mass number which is equal to the (number of proton + number of neutrons) Oxygen 15 = 8 protons, 7 neutrons, 8 electrons. 15 is the mass number which is equal to the (number of proton + number of neutrons) Oxygen 15 is known as the "Isotope" of Oxygen 16.
How many neutrons in o16?
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.
What is the group number of the oxygen family?
oxygen isn't a family name, but the number of the group that oxygen is in is 16
What is the name of this atomic number 8 and mass number 16?
This element is oxygen (O).
How do you use an exponent to represent a number such as 16?
How do you use an exponent to represent a number such as 16
What is the mass number for oxygen 18?
As the name would suggest, the mass of Oxygen-18 is 18.
How many protons are in an oxygen-16 nucleus?
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.
Now many isotopes in oxygen-16?
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.
What is the mass number of most atoms of oxygen?
Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass number of it is 16.
Why is 16 oxygen mass number?
Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
How many electrons in oxygen-16?
Oxygen-16 has 16 electrons (the 16 refers to the number of electrons, so Oxygen-15 if it exist, will have 15 valence electrons)
Can the number 10 represent a hexadecimal number?
Yes, the hexadecimal number 16.
What is the name of the gas that has atomic mass 16 and 8 neutrons?
That would be oxygen (16O).
What is the mass number of oxygen-8?
Oxygen is a non metallic element. Mass number of it is 16.
