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 Compounds
Protons = atomic number
Electrons = protons = atomic number
Neutrons = atomic mass - protons
Remember, 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.

What is the overall charge for MgF2?
Mg as an element is zero oxygen as an element is likewise zero Mg as an ion +2 Oxgen as an ion -2 MgO compound net zero
What is the number of shared pairs of electrons in a molecule of NH3?
There are three bonds between Nitrogen and hydrogen and there are thus 3 shared bonding pairs of electrons. in addition since Nitrogen is 1s22s22p3 there are also the none bonding 1s2 electrons and the 2s2 electrons making 5 total shared pairs of electrons.
How many electrons protons and nuetrons is there in oxgen?
Neutral oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons. It's most common isotope is 16O. Thus oxygen usually has 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons.
What is Atomic mass units of an atom that contains 8 protons 9 neutrons 8 electrons?
The atom you are referring to is 17O, an isotope of oxgen. Its atomic mass is 17 amu.
If oxygens atomic number is 8 then what does the oxgen atom have?

What is protons of oxgen?
Oxygen atoms contain protons like every other atoms. It has 8 protons in a atom.
Is Oxgen an element or a compound?
Oxygen is an element, with an atomic number of 8.
What is mass number of oxgen?
Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
Why is water molecule polar?
because there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxgen and hydrogen atoms
What element does the symbol O stand for?

Why are oxgen atoms neutral?
oxygen atoms are neutral because it has the same number of electrons and protons, which is what makes an atom neutral. oxygen does react with some substances. pure oxygen reacts with fire Oxygen atoms are not neutral they are very reactive. Oxygen molecules are less reactive than lone atoms but as still highly reactive.
Oxygen and which other element make a water molecule?
Hydrogen. One Oxgen and two Hydrogen atoms are present in a water molecule, which has the formula H2O.
