The atomic number of oxygen is 8. So it has 8 protons, 8 electrons.
O-17 isotope has 9 neutrons (17 - 8 = 9)
Electrons are - charged.protons has opposite. Oxygen atom has 8 protons and neutrons.
The number of protons compared to electrons is what determines the charge of the atom. If there are more protons than electrons the atom is positively charged. If there's more electrons than protons the atom is negatively charged. Does this answer your question?
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if you have an ion with a -1 charge, it has one extra electron. So your ion has 85 protons.
This particle is the proton with a positive charge.
Number of protons= Atomic number Number of neutrons= Mass number-Atomic number Number of electrons=Number of protons (If there is no charge on the atom)
There are similar number of electrons and protons. it has 15 electrons and protons.
8 protons and 8 electrons
It depends on the number of electrons and protons the charge of an atom depends on the number of electrons and the number of protons
It depends on the number of electrons and protons the charge of an atom depends on the number of electrons and the number of protons
Electrons have a -1 charge while protons have a +1 charge. Thus, subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons gives the charge of a species. For example, if a lithium ion has 3 protons and 2 electrons, it has a +1 charge.
the charge depends on the number of protons or electrons, if more electrons are there than protons there is a -1 charge, if there are more protons then electrons it is a +1 charge. Called Ions
it has a neutral charge because it contains an equal number of protons and electrons
Atoms that are neutral must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. Thus, for the charge to be neutral, the numbers of these particles must be equal.
The number of protons and electrons in the atom. If the number of protons = number of electrons, it is electrically neutral. If number of protons > number of electrons, it is positively charged. If number of protons < number of electrons, it is negatively charged.
because the number of protons (which have a positive charge of +1) and the number of electrons (which have a negative charge of -1) are the same. when number of protons = number of electrons, overall charge = 0
They do nothing to the number of protons. They balance the charge of the protons in the nucleus.
In any atom,there are protons, neutrons and electrons. As the name would suggest, neutrons carry no charge. Protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. So in an atom that has no charge there has to be an equal number of protons and electrons.
no. an atom is made up of protons neutrons and electrons. protons have a charge of plus one electrons have a charge of minus one neutrons have no charge. therefore the number of protons and electrons must be equal (balancing the charges) for the atom to be neutral. ;)
