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.
oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 8.
The atomic number refers to the number of protons in an element. The mass number can be used to indicate the number of neutrons because both protons and neutrons have a mass of about 1. An oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
That would be oxygen (16O).
Isotopes are different forms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. The atomic number of oxygen is 8. So both oxygen-16 and oxygen-17 have 8 protons (and 8 electrons). You get the number of neutrons by subtracting the mass number by the atomic number, so they would have 8 and 9 neutrons respectively.
No,the mass number of oxygen is 16 because it's atomic number is 8
Oxygen is a non metallic element. Mass number of it is 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.
Atomic number 8 and mass number sixteen is Oxygen
The atomic mass of oxygen (8 protons + 7 neutrons) is 15.For finding the atomic mass of any element, we have to get sum of number of protons & number of neutrons. Atomic Mass (A) : p+n.p = no. of protons.n = no. of neutrons.
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.

Oxygen is a non meta element. Atomic mass of it is 16 Atomic number of it is 8.
Atomic number is 8. Mass number is 16.9991315 u
Oxygen has 8 protons . The number of neutrons depends on the isotope. Oxygen-15 isotope has 7 neutrons and oxygen-16 isotope has 8 neutrons. (Note: Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutrons)
oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 8.
There are 8 neutrons in oxygen. In order to get number of neutrons, you will subtract the number of protons which is 8 from the atomic mass weight of oxygen which is 16.
