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.

O2- has how many protons?
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.
How many protons electrons and neutrons in the element oxgen?
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.
How many protons are in the ion O2?
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.
How many protons and valence electrons does oxygen have?
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.
How many electrons are in an oxygen anion O2 and minus?
The number of electrons is 9.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are present in Mg2 and O2?
45
How many protons and electrons are in oxygen 2- express answer in integers?
O2- ion has a total of 10 electrons.

How many protons are in the O2-?
Eight protons in this ion.
When you subtract the number of electrons from the number of protons what do you get?
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-
How many protons and valence electrons does oxygen have?
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.
How many protrons does o2- Have?
it has 8 protons
Is an ion with 8 protons and 10 electrons positively charged?
Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. An ion with 8 protons and 10 electons would have a charge of 2- as there are 2 more electrons than protons.As this ion has 8 protons is must have an atomic number of 8 (oxygen) so the species in question is O2-.If an ion has more protons than electrons it will be positively charged.
How many electrons are in an oxygen anion O2 and minus?
The number of electrons is 9.
How many protons in o2?
Sixteen. 8 in each oxygen nucleus.
