What if their are 8 protons in an atom how many electrons are their?

If it is neutral, there would be equal protons and electrons. However, if it is a charged ion, then there could be more or less electrons than protons. For example, 8 protons and 7 electrons would give +1 charge. 8 protons and 10 electrons would give -2 charge. Each proton has a +1 charge. Each electron has -1 charge.

∙ 14y agoA neutral atom will have the same number of protons as electrons. In this case (since it is an atom and not an ion), there would be 8 protons.

How many neutrons protons and electrons does a neutral atom of nitrogen- 14?
7 protons, 7 electrons and 8 neutrons
What has 8 protons 8 neutrons and 8 electrons?
Oxygen has 8 protons, 8 neutrons and 8 electrons. The symbol for oxygen is O and the atomic number is 8.
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.

What happens to an atom when it has 8 electrons?
It has 8 electrons. And if its not an ion, then it has 8 protons.
How many electrons are needed to stabilize the oxygen atom?
Oxygen's atomic number is 8. That means an atom of oxygen always has 8 protons. To stabilize it then, it must also have 8 electrons.
