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.
24, it's the number of protons and neutrons, i.e. the number of sub-atomic particles in the nucleus.
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.
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.
Oxygen has 8 protons in the atom.
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.
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.
The atomic number for Oxygen is 8.
24, it's the number of protons and neutrons, i.e. the number of sub-atomic particles in the nucleus.
Oxygen has 8 protons. for this reason its atomic number is 8
The "11" refers, precisely, to the number of nucleons.
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.
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.
Oxygen is a gas element. atomic number of it is 8.
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.
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.
Oxygen come on now you breath it. :)
