O and 8 protons
Oxygen's atomic number is 8. That means an atom of oxygen always has 8 protons. To stabilize it then, it must also have 8 electrons.
The atomic number of oxygen is 8. So it has 8 protons, 8 electrons. O-17 isotope has 9 neutrons (17 - 8 = 9)
The number of protons in an atom is different for every element. If you look at the periodic table, then the number labeled "atomic number" is the number of protons.
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?
Carbon atom contains only 6 protons. It is become unstable when number of neutrons are increasing.
Oxygen has 8 protons in the atom.
The number equal to the total number of protons in the elementAtomic number:It is the following number in the Periodic Table, and by definition equal to the number of protons of the atom of that unique element.Example:Hydrogen, atom symbol H, number 1, protons: 1Carbon, atom symbol C, number 6, protons: 6Uranium, atom symbol U, number 92, protons: 92
Oxygen has 8 protons, 8 neutrons and 8 electrons. The symbol for oxygen is O and the atomic number is 8.
there are 8 protons in an oxygen atom
The number of protons is what gives an atom its identity. Any atom with 8 protons is oxygen, regardless of the number of neutrons.
Oxygen has 8 protons. The number of protons tell you which number the atom is in the periodic table, so you can just look at the periodic table and the element's number to find out how many protons it has.
A superscript 8 on the left side of an atomic symbol means the particular isotope has a mass number of 8. A superscript number on the right side of an atomic symbol should mean that the symbol is for an ion with charge of 8, but this would normally also have a plus or minus sign associated with it.

Oxygen has 8 protons- the atomic number is the number of protons an atom has. A single oxygen atom contains 8 electrons to balance this charge, but oxygen is diatomic- meaning it will be O2 instead of just one Oxygen molecule.
The atomic number of oxygen is 8 because oxygen has 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.The Atomic Number is a count of how many Protons are present in an atom of an element.The element Oxygen has 8 Protons in its atomic nucleus and therefore has an Atomic Number of 8.Note: in an electrically neutral atom the number of electrons in the electron cloud exactly matches the number of Protons in the nucleus of the atom, therefore electrically neutral oxygen will also have 8 electrons.
