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 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 ans electrons does O2- have?

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.


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 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.


Place the following atoms or ions in order of increasing radius O O2- S2- and Se2-?

O, O2-, S2-, and Se2-O is smaller than O2- because O2- has 2 extra electrons but the same amount of protons as O, so they are held less tightly and the atom is bigger. Atom size increases as you move down the periodic table, so O2- < S2- < Se2-.

In 1 mole of NO2 gas how many protons are there?

In 1 mole of NO2 gas, there are a total of 9 moles of protons. This is because NO2 has 1 nitrogen atom and 2 oxygen atoms, which contain a total of 9 protons (7 protons from nitrogen and 2 protons from each oxygen).
