Oxygen has 8 protons and typically 8 neutrons in its nucleus, making a total of 16 particles in the atomic nucleus. The number of electrons in an oxygen atom is also 8, as atoms are neutral and have an equal number of protons and electrons.
Oxygen has 8 protons in its nucleus. This number is the same as the atomic number of oxygen, which is 8. In a neutral oxygen atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons (8), so there are 8 particles in the nucleus of an oxygen atom.
Each molecule of CO contains one atom of carbon and one of oxygen.
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 in the atom.
In each atom of HNO3: There is 1 proton in the hydrogen atom, 7 protons in the nitrogen atom, and 16 protons in the oxygen atom. The number of neutrons can vary since it depends on the isotope of each element. There are 1 electron in the hydrogen atom, 7 electrons in the nitrogen atom, and 16 electrons in the oxygen atom. Each atom in HNO3 has 1 valence electron.
Every oxygen atom has eight electrons.
Oxygen has 8 protons in its nucleus. This number is the same as the atomic number of oxygen, which is 8. In a neutral oxygen atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons (8), so there are 8 particles in the nucleus of an oxygen atom.
Oxygen's atomic number is 8. Thus it has 8 positively charged protons per atom. In order for oxygen to be neutral, it must also have 8 negatively charged electrons in each atom.

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 in the atom.
There are 16 electrons in an oxygen molecule as each oxygen atom has 8 electrons.
Every oxygen atom has eight electrons.

Each atom in HNO3 has 1 valence electron.
Oxygen always has atomic number 8, but that has nothing directly to do with the rest of the question. The number of hydrogen atoms needed is 2, because that is what must be shared to fill the "outer shell" of both the oxygen atom and each hydrogen atom.
Each hydrogen atom shares one electron with oxygen, forming a single covalent bond in a water molecule.
Water or H2O has exactly the number of atoms listed in each molecule: two hydrogen and one oxygen.
