oxygen atoms are neutral because it has the same number of electrons and protons, which is what makes an atom neutral. oxygen does react with some substances. pure oxygen reacts with fire Oxygen atoms are not neutral they are very reactive. Oxygen molecules are less reactive than lone atoms but as still highly reactive.

What is protons of oxgen?
Oxygen atoms contain protons like every other atoms. It has 8 protons in a atom.
How many molecules of oxgen are needed to react 100 atoms with all the magnesium?
50
Why is water molecule polar?
because there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxgen and hydrogen atoms
What is the chemicla equation for water?
Two Hydrogen atoms to One Oxgen atom (H2O)
Do neutral atoms stick to positive atoms?
By extreme heat and pressure, neutral atoms stick to positive atoms. Such as in Nuclear fission/ fusion.
What are neutral atoms?
All atoms are electrically neutral, because they have the same number of protons and electrons.
Do neutral atoms have a positive or negative charge?
No..... They are called neutral for a reason. But neutral atoms can have electrons added and removed making the atom positive or negative. And neutral atoms are still affected by charged atoms due to reason in depth but to sum up the long explanation of the affect neutral atoms are attracted to charged atoms. Just a side note.... how many of you love Leo Howard? Am I right?
Do Nonmetallic atoms have Negative charge or a Neutral charge?
Nonmetallic atoms have Neutral charge not a Negative charge.
How are ions different from Atom?
Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.
How are atoms and ions connected?
Atoms are neutral particles. Ions are charged atoms.
What are some exmple on the periodic table that are neutral atoms?
All the atoms are neutral. Only ions have an electrical charge.
What conclusions can we make about the size of cations neutral atoms and anions?
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
