How many protons are in a isotope oxygen atom?

All the oxygen isotopes, natural or artificial, has 8 protons, because th atomic number of oxygen is 8.


How many electrons does Thorium have?

Thorium, or Th, has an atomic number of 90. That means that every atom of thorium has 90 protons. The only naturally abundant isotope of thorium is 232Th, and so therefore it has 232 - 90 = 142 neutrons.


What is the isotope notation for thorium?

Unfortunately WikiAnswers doesn't accept subscript/superscript.For the isotope thorium-232: 232Th90232 is a superscript (mass number) and 90 is a subscript (atomic number).


Atom X has 9 protons 10 neutrons and 9 electrons Atom Y has 9 protons 9 neutrons and 9 electrons what best describes how Atom X and Atom Y are related?

The relationship is that Y is the negative ion and X is the neutral atome of the same element. Particle X and particle Y are both atoms, and are of the same element as the number of protons (atomic number) is 9. With the same number of neutrons they are both the same isotope. Particle X is electrically neutral so is a neutral atom, particle Y has a single negative charge and is an anion. Inspecting the periodic table for aelement atomic number 9 the element is fluorine, the isotope is fluorine-19 (the only naturally occuring isotope of fluorine), X is a fluorine atom, Y is a fluoride ion.


How many protons and nutrons does potassium have?

Potassium have th atomic number of 19 this means it has 19 protons in its "core" and in atoms the number of electrons are always equal to the number of protons hence also 19. the number of neutrons however vary dependent on witch potassium isotope it is the average for potassium is however 20 in potassium 39

What is the symbol of element that have 100 neutrons and 69 protons?

The element with 45 protons is Rhodium which has the chemical symbol Rh. Rhodium is a transition metal in Group 9, Period 5 of the Periodic Table. Rhodium has 45 electrons in 5 shells with 1 electron in the outer shell.


How many more neutrons does thorium-230have than protons how many electrons does thorium-230 have?

The atomic number of thorium is 90. So there are 90 protons and 90 electrons. In Th-230 isotope there are 140 neutrons (230 - 90 = 140) So there are 50 more neutrons than the number of protons.


What notation indicates the thorium isotope produced?

For example a thorium isotope is Th-231 or 23190 Th.


What are the two atoms that have th same number of proton called?

they are the same element because an element has an atomic number through its number of protons so if there was an element with 2 protons it would be number 2 in the periodic table which is helium, if another element has 2 protons it should be helium still, if it wasn't modified in anyway

Why the relative atomic mass of an element in th periodic table in fractional form?

The top left number is the mass (neutrons&protons) and the bottom left number is the atomic number(protons)

What happens to the number of protons when U-238 emits an alpha particle?

When U-238 emits an alpha particle, it loses two protons. This results in the atom transforming into a different element (Th-234) which has two fewer protons in the nucleus.
