Each oxygen atom contains 8 protons in its nucleus.
The atomic number of a chemical element (also known as its proton number) is always the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom of that element, and identical to the charge number of the nucleus. It is conventionally represented by the symbol Z.

What is the atomic number of oxide?
The atomic number of Oxygen is 8.
What is the atomic number in O2?
Oxygen is a non meta element. Atomic number of it is 8.
What is the atomic number used for?
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic number is identical to the charge number of the nucleus. For example, the atomic number of Oxygen is 8.
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 number of protons in one atom of an element is that element's?
The number of protons in an atom of an element is equal to the number of electrons in that atom which is equal to that element's atomic number.
How many protons are in oxygens nucleus?
The atomic number of oxygen is 8. So, it has 8 protons always.

What is oxygens number of protons and neutrons?
oxygen has 8 protons
What is oxygens relative atomic mass?
It is 15.999
What is oxygens weight?
the atomic weight is 15.9994
What is the definition of atomic mass number?
Atomic Mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the atom, plus any additional mass conferred by electrons. (Since electrons are roughly 1/1837th of a proton's mass, this additional mass is minuscule and is only represented in atoms that have atomic numbers at the higher end of the table.) It should be an integer/whole number.The reason that most elements have a number with decimals for their atomic mass numbers on the Periodic Table is because those numbers average all of the different isotopes of the element in proportion to how common they are. For example, Oxygen has an atomic mass number of 15.999 since the overwhelming majority of oxygens have 8 protons and 8 neutrons for a total atomic mass number of 16, but there are some rare oxygens with 8 protons and 7 neutrons for a total atomic mass number of 15. Once these are averaged, since the 16s are much more common, the resulting number is 15.999.
