There are 8 neutrons in oxygen.
You can determine the number of neutrons in any element by subtracting the atomic number (which is 8 for oxygen) from the Atomic Mass, rounded to the nearest whole number (which is 16 for oxygen). This is because the mass of any element comes mainly from the protons and the neutrons - the mass of the electrons is too tiny to be a significant contribution. The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in an element, so when you subtract it from the element's total mass, you are left with the number of neutrons.

How many neutron are there in the ion 18O2?
10.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in a oxygen ion with a charge of negative two?
Every atom, ion, and isotope will have 8 protons. The oxygen ion will have 2 more electrons than protons to achieve a full outer shell.
The neutral or no charge particle of an atomit is located in the nucleushas the same masss as the proton?
The neutron.
How many particles are in a proton neutron and electron?
1+1
What particle in the nucleus of an atom has no charge?
you already partly answered your own question. Neutrons.
How many neutron do oxygen has?
8 protons, 8 electrons, 8 neutrons in oxygen
How many neutron are in an oxygen?
The simple answer is 8 neutrons. But this depends on which oxygen isotope you are talking about. Oxygen-16, the most abundant oxygen isotope, has 8 neutrons.
What is the difference is between oxygen-16 and oxygen-17?
one neutron '
I am a gas with 8 protons and 8 neutron's?
oxygen
What gas has 8 neutron and 8 electrons?
Oxygen
Proton neutron and electron in oxygen?
Oxygen has 8 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is 8, 9 or 10 for the natural isotopes of oxygen.
What is the name of this element that has 8 protons and 9 neutron?
It is simply oxygen-17
Does oxygen-16 atom has the same number of protons as oxygen-17 atom?
yes, O-17 has an extra neutron
What does a oxygen atom have?
oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutron's. since they 8 protons they also have 8 electrons in there neutral state.
How many elements in 'heavy' water?
Formula of heavy water is D2O. O is oxygen, D is deuterium - a hydrogen isotope having 1 proton and 1 neutron.
Is oxygen 17 and oxygen 18 the same isotopes of oxygen?
they are different isotopes of oxygen, oxygen-17 has one more neutron than oxygen-16 making it slightly heavier. Oxygen-17 will react slightly slower than oxygen-16 since it has more mass.
What is the atomic mass number of oxygen with 7 neutron?
7 neutrons + 8 protons = mass number of 15
