Oxygen in the air is made up of how many atoms?
1. Oxygen is made from...oxygen atoms. 2. Oxygen is a diatomic molecule. 3. Natural oxygen has three isotopes (types of atoms): 16O, 17O, 18O.
What element that is a gas has eight protons and eight neutrons?
Oxygen. The Elements Atomic Number tells you the number of protons and it's amu is generally the weight of all of the averaged isotopes so since it is nearly 16 (not all O's have 8 neutrons) it is Oxygen.
How many neutrons and electrons does oxygen-16 have?
8 since the atomic number equals the number of protons!!
How many protons netrons and electrons does one atom of oxygen have?
Oxygen's atomic number is 8. Thus, a neutral atom of oxygen will have 8 protons and 8 electrons. The most common isotope of oxygen is 16O, which has 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons.
How is the nucleus of oxygen-18 atom different to the nucleus of oxygen-16 atom?
The difference between Oxygen - 15 and Oxygen - 16 is that of Isotope. Oxygen's atomic number is 8 as it contains 8 proton but the neutron number may vary in order to form an isotope, the oxygen found in the air is 98 percent oxygen 16, the rest is oxygen 15. Oxygen 16 = 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons. 16 is the mass number which is equal to the (number of proton + number of neutrons) Oxygen 15 = 8 protons, 7 neutrons, 8 electrons. 15 is the mass number which is equal to the (number of proton + number of neutrons) Oxygen 15 is known as the "Isotope" of Oxygen 16.
How many stable isotopes does oxygen have-?
Oxygen consists of three stable isotopes: 16O, 17O, and 18O
Do Oxygen-17 and oxygen-18 have different number of protons?
No, 17O and 18O have differing numbers of neutrons, which make them isotopes of oxygen, along with 16O.
What are the 3 atoms of oxygen?
The three stable atomic isotopes of Oxygen are 16O, 17O, 18O, with 8, 9, and 10 neutrons respectively. In addition 17 radioactive isotopes have been described.
What is the correct formula for elemental oxygen?
Oxygen has three naturally occurring isotopes: 16O, 17O, and 18O. The most abundant is 16O, with a small percentage of 18O and an even smaller percentage of 17O.
Is O radioactive?
If you mean oxygen: like most elements, it has both stable isotopes, and unstable (i.e., radioactive) isotopes. 16O, 17O and 18O are stable; the unstable (radioactive) isotopes include 15O and 14O.

What is the most abundant isotope of oxygen?
There is only one abundant isotope of fluorine and that is 19FFluorine-19 is the most common isotope, its abundance is classed as 100% because no other Fluorine isotopes exist in significant quantities. It is also the only stable Fluorine isotope.
How did oxygen exist?
Oxygen is a natural element, and is produced inside a star by fusion processes, beginning with hydrogen - helium and so on. It is the third most common element by mass in our Milky Way galaxy, after hydrogen and helium. There are three common isotopes, 16O, 17O, and 18O, with 16O being by far the most common (>99%). There are another dozen minor isotopes, mostly radioactive with short half-lives. Some 18O is generated by the capture of a helium nucleus by a nitrogen atom. This isotope is useful, as being more massive, it occurs more commonly when the atmosphere warms. The 18O/16O ratio is used as a measure of paleo (ancient) climate, for the oxygen ratio is preserved in ancient ice, and other oxygen-containing substances.
Are there any different isotopes of oxygen that are harmful or useful?
Isotopes of oxygen have many beneficial uses such as the following examples. Compressed oxygen is usually made of 16O. Rarest of all the oxygen isotopes, 17O is often used in spectroscopy. It is useful in magnetic resonance experiments, as well as in the study of oxygen and water interactions. Positron Emission Tomography, more widely known as medical imaging, has made the demand for 18O increase world-wide. 18O is also used in the study enzymatic and geochemical reactions, vibrational spectroscopy, as well as insight into chemical reactions and transition states. P.S. I got most of this information off the net, so I'm not sure how accurate this is.
Do all oxygen atoms have the same properties?
If this atom is part of a compound, the properties change. I Mean, the properties of Oxygen in the molecule O2 is Different from that in compound CO2 Conc. Atoms lose their properties if they form a compound with different atoms There are three stable Isotopes of Oxygen: 16O, 17O, and 18O. Their half lives vary and so do their relative atomic masses. As a result they have slight differences in their physical properties.
What gas has 8 neutrons and 8 patrons?
You mean protons, not patrons.The answer is Oxygen and more specially: neutrons + protons ---> 16O
What element that is a gas has eight protons and eight neutrons?
Oxygen. The Elements Atomic Number tells you the number of protons and it's amu is generally the weight of all of the averaged isotopes so since it is nearly 16 (not all O's have 8 neutrons) it is Oxygen.
