Oxygen. The Elements Atomic Number tells you the number of protons and it's amu is generally the weight of all of the averaged isotopes so since it is nearly 16 (not all O's have 8 neutrons) it is Oxygen.

∙ 14y agoThe defining characteristic of an element is the number of protons. All atoms of the same element, whether they are isotopes or ions, will have the same number of protons. If the number varies, then the atom is a different element. Since the atomic number is the same as the number of protons, a Periodic Table will tell you that the element with eight protons is oxygen.

∙ 13y agoThe atomic number of an atom tells us how many protons it has. Referencing the periodic table, we see that oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and thus 8 protons. The isotope, 16O, therefore has 8 neutrons.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoOxygen's atomic number is 8. Thus it has 8 protons. 16O has 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons and is a gas.

What element has 18 protons and 22 neutrons?
It is the Noble gas Argon.
What element has 8 protons 9 neutrons and 8 electrons?
Giving a specific number of protons and neutrons specifies an isotope of an element. In this case, the isotope is the isotope of fluorine with an atomic mass of 19. Other isotopes of fluorine with different numbers of neutrons also exist, but are not nearly as common.
The number of neutrons in an isotope of argon that has a mass number of 40 and an atomic number of 18?
argon is element 18, and so has 18 protons. argon 40 has a mass of 40, so subtracting 18 protons gives you 22. Thus, there are 22 neutrons
What is the element 54 protons 54 neutrons and 78 electrons?
I think you meant "54 protons, 54 electrons, and 78 neutrons," because I don't think it's possible for any element to have such a high proton-electron different, especially when that element is the noble gas Xenon. Anyways, if you did make a typo, the element you're thinking of should be Xenon-134
Which element in period 5 of the periodic table has the greatest number of protons?
This element is the noble gas xenon (Xe) with 54 protons.
A gas element with 8 protons and 8 neutrons?
Oxygen
What element has 8 protons and 8 neutrons and is a gas?
Oxygen is the only element with 8 protons.
What element has 18 protons and 22 neutrons?
It is the Noble gas Argon.
How many protons electron and neutrons are in nitrogen?
A neutral nitrogen atom has 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons. If it is electrically charged, the number of electrons will be different. If it is an isotope of nitrogen other than the most common (N-14), the number of neutrons will be different. Protons = Atomic Number Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Protons Electrons = Protons Atomic number is the amount of protons in element.
What does the element kryptonite composed of?
krpytonite is not an element! it is a made up element in Superman universe. A real element that has a similar name is the element Krypton. It is the 36th element . It is a noble gas. it is made up of 36 protons, and 36 electrons with an average of 48 neutrons. Just like any other element, it is made up of a different # of protons and neutrons with electrons floating somewhere around the nucleus. The # of protons in a nucleus is what makes the differences between elements.
Why is sodium light while iron is heavy?
The density of an element depends on the number of the nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the atom nucleus.
What gas has 8 neutrons and 8 patrons?
You mean protons, not patrons.The answer is Oxygen and more specially: neutrons + protons ---> 16O
What are different atomic forms of an element?
The two forms in which the atoms of an element may exist are isotopes. These consist of protons and neutrons.
What element has 8 protons 9 neutrons and 8 electrons?
Giving a specific number of protons and neutrons specifies an isotope of an element. In this case, the isotope is the isotope of fluorine with an atomic mass of 19. Other isotopes of fluorine with different numbers of neutrons also exist, but are not nearly as common.
What is the mass of gas?
Atomic Mass is the count of how many protons and neutrons an element contains. So, there is not really an answer to your question. It would depend upon what elements the gas is made up of.
A gas with 8 protons and 8 nuetrons?
An atom with 8 protons will have an atomic number of 8. Checking the periodic table, we see this element is oxygen. The isotope of oxygen with 8 neutrons is 16O.
The number of neutrons in an isotope of argon that has a mass number of 40 and an atomic number of 18?
argon is element 18, and so has 18 protons. argon 40 has a mass of 40, so subtracting 18 protons gives you 22. Thus, there are 22 neutrons
