It should be the anion of the O-16 isotope, O2-
Oxygen has 8 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is 8, 9 or 10 for the natural isotopes of oxygen.
Mass of a Proton = 1.6726x10-27 kg Mass of a Neutron = 1.6749x10-27 kg The ratio is then: 0.99864
I believe the Proton Number (being the number of protons in the centre/nucleus of the atom) is the most important number in an atom. Oxygen for example has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. if it had more/less neutrons it would still be oxygen (it would be an ISOTOPE of oxygen) but if it had more/less protons, it would be a differnet element entirely. Ordinarily, the number of protons in an atom matches the number of electrons spinning around the outside so as to keep it neutral. (a proton has a positive charge and a neutron has a negative charge) the relative atomic mass of an element is the proton number + the neutron number as electrons weigh so little their mass is not worth taking into account.
The carbon 14 isotope has 6 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus, which gives a ration of 3:4 of protons to neutrons.
Proton number is equal to atomic number. For oxygen both numbers are 8.
Yes, it is. It has a high neutron-to-proton ratio.

There is no atom or element that has one proton, one neutron and ten electrons. Duterium has one proton, one neutron and one electron (in a neutral atom). Tritium has one proton, two neutrons and one electron (in a neutral atom), but that is the closest. In any neutral atom the number of electrons will equal the number of protons in the nucleus of that atom. An atom with one proton in its nucleus and 10 electrons just isn't possible.
8. with an atomic mass of 15.9994
"Dalton" in this context has the same meaning as "atomic mass unit". Each proton and each neutron has one Dalton, while electrons have none. Therefore, the element in question has 16 daltons, and is in fact an atom of the most common isotope of oxygen, oxygen-16.
Oxygen has 8 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is 8, 9 or 10 for the natural isotopes of oxygen.

It is simply oxygen-17

Oxygen has 8 protons. When it gains one more, it becomes fluorine, the element with atomic number 9.
Proton number is equal to atomic number. For oxygen both numbers are 8.
