The atomic number of oxygen is 8. Thus, electrically neutral oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons. Since the most common isotope of oxygen is 16O, there are 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons in an atom of oxygen.

Is oxygen one atom?

Elements (oxygen being one of them) are composed of subatomic particles; that is, protons, neutrons, and electrons. Subatomic particles make up atoms (hence "sub"atomic). Therefore, it is reasonable to say that oxygen is an atom.


How many subatomic particles are there in oxygen-18?

What are not subatomic particles?

Atoms, molecules, and cells are not subatomic particles. Atoms are made up of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons), molecules are made up of atoms, and cells are the basic unit of life in living organisms.

Subatomic particles bigger than molecles?

Subatomic particles are smaller than molecules and are the building blocks of atoms. Protons, neutrons, and electrons are examples of subatomic particles found in atoms. There are no known subatomic particles that are bigger than molecules.
