∙ 2009-05-24 19:45:14There are 8 neutrons in an oxygen-16 atom. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and with an atomic mass of 16, it is simple to calculate the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number (8) from the atomic mass (16). The 16 - 8 = 8.

If you really meant to ask "What is the mass defect of oxygen-16," this is how you do it. mass defect = # of protons x mass of one proton + # of neutrons x mass of one neutron - mass of the nucleus The atomic number of oxygen-16 is 8, so there are 8 protons. The mass of one proton is approximately 1.0073 amu. The atomic mass of oxygen-16 is 16, so there are 8 neutrons in oxygen-16. (Atomic mass of 16 minus atomic number of 8 = # of neutrons in oxygen-16.) The mass of one neutron is approximately 1.0087 amu. The mass of the nucleus of oxygen is 16. Now substitute the values into the "mass defect" equation: mass defect = 8x1.0073+8x1.0087-16=approximately 0.128 amu.

Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
The atomic mass of oxygen is 15.9994~16
Oxygen is a non meta element. Atomic mass of it is 16 Atomic number of it is 8.
Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
If an isotope has an atomic number of 8 and a mass number of 16 - IT IS OXYGEN
Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
The atomic number of oxygen is 8. 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 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 mass number is not the atomic mass !!
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.
The atomic mass number of oxygen is 16.0. --------- 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. After IUPAC Tables from 2009 the atomic weight of oxygen is [15,99903; 15,99977]. The conventional (abridged) atomic weight is 15.999 amu.
There are 8 neutrons in an oxygen-16 atom. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and with an atomic mass of 16, it is simple to calculate the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number (8) from the atomic mass (16). The 16 - 8 = 8.
