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.
Isotopes of oxygen differ in the number of neutrons they contain in their nuclei. Oxygen has three naturally occurring isotopes: oxygen-16 (8 neutrons), oxygen-17 (9 neutrons), and oxygen-18 (10 neutrons). The differences in neutron count affect the atomic weight and stability of each isotope.
Deuterium, 2H has one neutron.
There are 10 neutrons in the ion 18O2. This is calculated by subtracting the atomic number of the oxygen ion (8) from its mass number (18), as neutrons are equal to the difference between these two values.
you already partly answered your own question. Neutrons.
The main difference between oxygen-16 and oxygen-17 is their atomic mass. Oxygen-16 has 8 protons and 8 neutrons, while oxygen-17 has 8 protons and 9 neutrons. This difference in neutron number results in oxygen-17 being slightly heavier than oxygen-16.
8 protons, 8 electrons, 8 neutrons in 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.

oxygen
Oxygen
oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutron's. since they 8 protons they also have 8 electrons in there neutral state.
Formula of heavy water is D2O. O is oxygen, D is deuterium - a hydrogen isotope having 1 proton and 1 neutron.
Oxygen-16 and oxygen-18 are both isotopes of oxygen, differing primarily in their neutron count. Oxygen-16 has 8 neutrons, while oxygen-18 has 10 neutrons. Although both isotopes have the same number of protons (8), the difference in neutron count affects their atomic mass and some physical properties, but not their chemical behavior, as they both participate in the same chemical reactions.

That would be a gas with the Atomic 8 and mass number of 16 - Oxygen
