How many protons and neutrons isotopes of oxygen?
Oxigen has 8 protons; natural isotopes have 8, 9 an 10 neutrons.
How many neutrons does oxygen have?
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.
How is the nucleus of oxygen-18 atom different to the nucleus of oxygen-16 atom?
The difference between Oxygen - 15 and Oxygen - 16 is that of Isotope. Oxygen's atomic number is 8 as it contains 8 proton but the neutron number may vary in order to form an isotope, the oxygen found in the air is 98 percent oxygen 16, the rest is oxygen 15. Oxygen 16 = 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons. 16 is the mass number which is equal to the (number of proton + number of neutrons) Oxygen 15 = 8 protons, 7 neutrons, 8 electrons. 15 is the mass number which is equal to the (number of proton + number of neutrons) Oxygen 15 is known as the "Isotope" of Oxygen 16.
How many protons electrons and neutrons do sulfur have?
A sulfer atom has: 16 electrons, 16 protons and 16 neutrons but sulfer ions and isotopes do exist where this is different
How many neutrons in o16?
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.
How many neutrons does the element Oxygen 15.9994 have?
Oxygen with the atomic mass given does not have any fixed number of neutrons because it is a mixture of isotopes. The most common isotope, oxygen-16, contains 8 neutrons per nucleus.
Now many isotopes in oxygen-16?
Oxygen-16 IS an isotope of oxygen. If you meant to ask the number of isotopes of oxygen, the answer is 3. They are Oxygen-16, -17 and -18. Oxygen-16 is the most abundant of the isotopes.
What is the same about oxygen 18 and oxygen 16?
Their atomic number (8) is the same. They are both isotopes of oxygen, with different numbers of neutrons.
How many protons and neutrons isotopes of oxygen?
Oxigen has 8 protons; natural isotopes have 8, 9 an 10 neutrons.
What is the difference between an oxygen 16 atom and an oxygen 18 atom?
In the nucleus of an oxygen-18 atom there are 10 neutrons while in the nucleus of an oxygen-16 atom there are only 8 neutrons. The number of electrons and protons always stay the same.
How many protons and neutrons are in 2 oxygen isotopes with a mass number of sixteen and seventeen?
Isotopes are different forms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. The atomic number of oxygen is 8. So both oxygen-16 and oxygen-17 have 8 protons (and 8 electrons). You get the number of neutrons by subtracting the mass number by the atomic number, so they would have 8 and 9 neutrons respectively.
How many neutrons does oxygen have?
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.
How is the nucleus of oxygen-18 atom different to the nucleus of oxygen-16 atom?
The difference between Oxygen - 15 and Oxygen - 16 is that of Isotope. Oxygen's atomic number is 8 as it contains 8 proton but the neutron number may vary in order to form an isotope, the oxygen found in the air is 98 percent oxygen 16, the rest is oxygen 15. Oxygen 16 = 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons. 16 is the mass number which is equal to the (number of proton + number of neutrons) Oxygen 15 = 8 protons, 7 neutrons, 8 electrons. 15 is the mass number which is equal to the (number of proton + number of neutrons) Oxygen 15 is known as the "Isotope" of Oxygen 16.
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.
How many protons and neutrons are in oxygen-17?
8 protons and 9 neutrons (total is the atomic mass number 17). In a neutral atom, 8 electrons. Oxygen-17 is the rarest of the three stable natural isotopes. Most oxygen is oxygen-16 with 8 neutrons.
How many protons electrons and neutrons do sulfur have?
A sulfer atom has: 16 electrons, 16 protons and 16 neutrons but sulfer ions and isotopes do exist where this is different
Why is oxygen 16 and oxygen 17 isotopes?
Oxygen is element number 8; every oxygen atom has eight protons. But while oxygen NORMALLY also has eight neutrons, there are a few - a VERY few - oxygen atoms that have 9 or even 10 neutrons. These "isotopes" ("iso" being the Greek prefix for "same", because they all have the same number of protons) are just a little bit heavier than normal oxygen. There are even even more rare oxygen atoms with from 6 to 12 neutrons. These isotopes are radioactive, and decay into either nitrogen or fluorine.
