There are no 'nucleons' in an Oxygen atom.

You mean 'neutrons'. As all the mass of an atom is in its nucleus (made up of 'protons' and 'neutrons') and as the Atomic Number is the count of how many 'protons' there are, if you subtract the Atomic Number form the Atomic Mass, you get the number of 'nutrons'.

17-8=9.

How many nucleons are there in a electrically neutral isotope if the atomic number is 56 and the atomic mass is 130?

In an electrically neutral isotope, the number of protons equals the atomic number, which is 56 in this case. The atomic mass of 130 represents the total number of nucleons, which includes both protons and neutrons. Therefore, the number of nucleons in this isotope is 130.

How many protons does boron-5 have?

The "11" refers, precisely, to the number of nucleons.


How can you figure out how many neutrons are in an atoms nucleus by using the atomic number and the atomic mass?

The atomic mass (rounded to the nearest whole number) is the number of nucleons - i.e. protons+neutrons. The atomic number is just the number of protons. So the difference between the two (mass minus number) tells you the number of neutrons.


How many electrons in an atom with the atomic number 8?

An atom with atomic number 8 corresponds to oxygen. Oxygen has 8 electrons because the number of electrons in an atom is equal to its atomic number.


What element has an atomic number of eight?

Oxygen is a gas element. atomic number of it is 8.


If oxygen has 8 electrons how many protons does it have?

Oxygen has 8 protons. The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which defines the element. Oxygen's atomic number is 8, so it has 8 protons.


How many neutron in sodium element?

Subtract the atomic # from the atomic mass. Atomic number = number of Protons. Atomic mass = total nucleons (Protons + Neutrons).Atomic # = 11 and Atomic Mass = 23. So 23-11 = 12 Neutrons.
