When an atom becomes an ion, it gains or loses electrons. The number of protons and neutrons doesn't change.
If the number of neutrons changes then the atom has changed into a different isotope.

What is the total charge on an oxygen ion that has 8 protons 8 neutrons and 10 electrons?
Consider an atom of oxygen in which the nucleus contains 8 protons and 8 neutrons. If it is doubly ionized, what is the charge of the oxygen ion and how many electrons remain in the ion?
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.
When an oxygen atom gains two electrons to become an oxygen ion what is the electric charge?
The resulting oxygen ion has a charge of -2.
How many protons electrons and neutrons does oxygen-2 have?
A negative 2 charge means that the oxygen is richer in two electrons. The configuration of oxygen is: 1s22s22p4 and we can conclude that it has 8 electrons. For the atom to be neutral the amount of protons must be the same. Oxygen atom has 8 neutrons. Let's add the two electrons to the eight, so the oxygen will be on negative 2 charge. To summarize, the amount of electrons - 10, protons- 8, neutrons - 8.
Can oxygen have a negative charge?
By becoming an oxide ion, O=

How many neutrons does an mg2 ion have?
It has 12 neutrons.
When an oxygen atom gains two electrons to become an oxygen ion what is the electric charge?
The resulting oxygen ion has a charge of -2.
Is ammonium an oxyanion?
No. An oxyanion is a polyatomic negative ion that contains oxygen. Ammonium is a cation (positive ion) and does not contain oxygen.
How many protons electrons and neutrons does oxygen-2 have?
A negative 2 charge means that the oxygen is richer in two electrons. The configuration of oxygen is: 1s22s22p4 and we can conclude that it has 8 electrons. For the atom to be neutral the amount of protons must be the same. Oxygen atom has 8 neutrons. Let's add the two electrons to the eight, so the oxygen will be on negative 2 charge. To summarize, the amount of electrons - 10, protons- 8, neutrons - 8.
How many protons electron and neutrons are in the element oxygen?
There are always 8 protons in Oxygen. This is represented by the atomic number of oxygen. As for electrons , they are often represented by the atomic number in the neutral form, 8, but if the oxygen atom is a ion it would have 10 electrons. For neutrons the average atomic mass is 16.01, neutrons are found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass, so 16.01-8=8.01, there 8.01 average neutrons in oxygen, but in isotopes oxygen can have differnet amounts of neutrons, the mainest is 8 neutrons.
What type of Charge does an Oxygen ion has?
It has a negative charge of -2.
Can oxygen have a negative charge?
By becoming an oxide ion, O=
Is oxygen is a positive charge?
No. On its own oxygen is neutral. Its ion, the oxide ion, has a negative charge
Which ion has eight protons in the nucleus and nine electrons in its orbits?
Any atom with 8 protons is an oxygen atom. Seven neutrons makes it a particular isotope of oxygen, and nine electrons means that it is an ion, with a charge of minus one. This is unusual because oxygen tends to form ions with a charge of minus two, not minus one, but it isn't impossible.
What element has 7 protons 8 neutrons 7 electrons?
A positively charged ion of oxygen
