How many protons electrons and neutrons in the element oxgen?
Oxygen has the atomic number 8 and an atomic mass of 16.
That means it has 8 protons, 8 electrons, and
8 neutrons.
Rules for Calculating Protons, Electrons, and Neutrons in
Uncharged Compounds
Protons = atomic number
Electrons = protons = atomic number
Neutrons = atomic mass - protons
Remember, if you have a charged ion, the number of electrons
will be different.
Oxygen is normally found as O2. A molecule of O2 will have 16
protons, 16 electrons, and 32 neutrons.

How many protons neutrons electrons are in an atom of Oxygen?
8 protons 8 electrons and 8 neutrons. Oxygen has the atomic
number 8, so it has 8 protons, 8 electrons. The number of neutrons
would be mass number-atomic number, so 15.9994-8=7.9994, so
rounding would be 8 neutrons.

How many protons and neutrons and electrons are there in oxygen?
Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, which means it has 8 protons.
Given a neutrally charged atom, the atomic number will be equal to
the number of electrons, so again, there are 8 electrons.
Ionized oxygen, which is still the same element, has gained or
lost electrons such that it has a net positive charge (more protons
than electrons) or negative charge (more electrons than
protons).
The primary isotope of oxygen, Oxygen-16 (that number being the
sum of protons and neutrons), also...

How many protons electrons and neutrons does oxygen have?
Oxygen has 8 protons as its atomic number is 8. It therefore has
8 electrons also for charge neutrality. The number of neutrons
depends on the isotope. O-15 isotope will have 7 neutrons, O-16
isotope will have 8 neutrons.
(Note: Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutrons)

How may protons neutrons and electrons does oxygen-18 have?
The isotope oxygen-18 has the mass number of 18. The atomic
number of oxygen is 8, so all of its atoms, regardless of isotope,
have 8 protons. In a neutral oxygen atom the number of protons
equals the number of electrons, so it has 8 electrons. The number
of neutrons equals the mass number minus the atomic number, which
for oxygen-18 is (18 - 8), so there are 10 neutrons.

How many protons neutrons and electrons are in oxygen?
Oxygen has a mass number of 16.00 with atomic number 8 which
means there are 8 electrons and 8 protons. The number of neutrons
is always equal to the mass number- the atomic number. In this case
it is 16 - 8= 8.
Protons: 8
Neutrons: 8 (for isotope O16 the most common)
Electrons: 8
