What elements have the atomic number 12 and atomic mass 8?

There is no element with an atomic number of 12 and an atomic mass of 8. Atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in an atom, while atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons. The atomic number of an element cannot be smaller than its atomic mass.


If atomic mass of 16 and atomic number of 8 this means the number of neutrons in this type of oxygen is?

The number of neutrons in an atom can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass. In this case, an atomic mass of 16 and atomic number of 8 for oxygen means there are 8 neutrons (16 - 8 = 8).


What is the atom with atomic number 8 and mass number sixteen?

Atomic number 8 and mass number sixteen is Oxygen


What element has atomic mass of 16 and 8 neutrons?

If you had looked in the periodic table, you would have seen that the element Oxygen has an atomic mass of 16 (or more precisely 15.9994) and if you were to take that atomic mass and subtract the atomic number from it (i.e. 8) you would get a difference of 8 which is the number of neutrons it contains. In short, oxygen is that element.


If an atom has an atomic number of 8 and a mass of 18 how many protrons are in the atom?

It has 8 protons. The atomic number of an atom = the number of protons. The mass number is not needed in this problem. The mass number is the number of protons + number of neutrons.


What is the atomic number and atomic mass for oxygen?

Oxygen is a non meta element. Atomic mass of it is 16 Atomic number of it is 8.


What is the atomic number and mass of Oxygen-17?

Atomic number is 8. Mass number is 16.9991315 u


An explination of what mass number and atomic number are?

The atomic number refers to the number of protons in the element. And since the number of protons = number of electrons, the atomic number is also the number of electrons in the element. The mass number of an element refers to the number of neutrons and protons in the element. &since electrons are negligible in mass, the number of neutrons can be found out by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. Take for example, oxygen. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and a mass number of 16. Hence, from the atomic number it can be derived that it has: 8 electrons 8 protons While from the mass number, it can be derive that it has: 16-8 = 8 neutrons


Does the atomic number relate to the number of neutrons?

No, the atomic number relates to the number of protons and electrons. say if the atomic number is 8 and the atomic mass is 17. by looking at the atomic number you can tell there are 8 protons and 8 electrons. but now you want to find the number of neutrons. you see that the atomic mass is 17. so you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. which is 17-8= 9. so there are 8protons, 8electrons, and 9 neutrons. hope this helps you.


What is the atomic number for the oxygen atom?

The mass number is the sum of neutrons and protons in the atomic nucleus and is different for each isotope of any element. For example the isotope oxygen-16 has the mass number 16. The atomic weight of oxygen (not Atomic Mass) is [15,99903; 15,99977] after the IUPAC Tables - 2009. The atomic number of oxygen is 8.


What is the atomic mass of boron?

The atomic mass of boron is approximately 10.81 atomic mass units.


How do you figure out how many protons and neutrons are in an atom?

you use the mass number for the neutrons. you take away the atomic nomber from the mass number and the answer is the number of neutrons. for the electrons and the protons you just write the atomic number.
