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 is 8. Mass number is 16.9991315 u
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.
Atomic number 8 and mass number sixteen is Oxygen
Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
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.
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).
Oxygen is a non meta element. Atomic mass of it is 16 Atomic number of it is 8.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus, which is also equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. Given that the number of electrons in oxygen is 8, the atomic number is 8. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, so for oxygen with 8 protons and 9 neutrons, the mass number is 8 + 9 = 17.
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.
