Oxygen is the eighth element in the Periodic Table.
8 protons and 8 electrons. The no of protons will always be the same as the no of electrons unless in witch case it would be referred to as being ionised or a free radical.
The thing that separates one element from the other is how many protons the nucleus has. It doesn't matter what the superscript is. Therefore O2- will have 8 protons but 10 electrons instead of 8.
The neutrons and protons in the nucleus do not change when electrons are removed from an atom. Even when two electrons are removed. Oxygen has several isotopes, with 8 protons and either 8, 9, or 10 neutrons... all representing stable isotopes. 8 neutrons is most common on Earth.
Oxygen has the atomic number 8 and an atomic mass of 16.That means it has 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons.Rules for Calculating Protons, Electrons, and Neutrons in Uncharged CompoundsProtons = atomic numberElectrons = protons = atomic numberNeutrons = atomic mass - protonsRemember, if you have a charged ion, the number of electrons will be different.Oxygen is normally found as O2. A molecule of O2 will have 16 protons, 16 electrons, and 32 neutrons.
Oxygen has 8 protons- the atomic number is the number of protons an atom has. A single oxygen atom contains 8 electrons to balance this charge, but oxygen is diatomic- meaning it will be O2 instead of just one Oxygen molecule.
This appears to be the formula for the oxide ion. Since oxygen has 8 protons, and this ion has a 2- charge, it must have 10 electrons.

O2- ion has a total of 10 electrons.

it has 8 protons
Oxygen has 8 protons- the atomic number is the number of protons an atom has. A single oxygen atom contains 8 electrons to balance this charge, but oxygen is diatomic- meaning it will be O2 instead of just one Oxygen molecule.
There are 16 protons in an O2 molecule. Oxygen has 8 protons in each atom, and since there are two oxygen atoms in an O2 molecule, the total number of protons is 16.
This appears to be the formula for the oxide ion. Since oxygen has 8 protons, and this ion has a 2- charge, it must have 10 electrons.
It should be:# of protons - # of electronsIt gives you the ion charge of the element. For example, Oxygen ion has 8 protons and 10 electrons. Therefore, 8 - 10 = -2 ----> O2-
O2- has gained two extra electrons, giving it a total of 10 electrons.
