The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons added together. Electrons are not counted as part of the mass because while protons and neutrons weigh the same, Electrons weigh virtually nothing compared to them. As far as I can tell, there is no stable atom with a mass of 8.
What else can I help you with?
Design a neutral stable atom using the simulator build an atom on the phet website with a mass of 8 what is the number of protons electrons and neutrons in the atom?
To design a neutral stable atom with a mass of 8, you could create an oxygen atom. An oxygen atom has 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons, which gives it a mass number of 16. This configuration ensures the atom is neutral and stable.
If a neutral atom has 8 protons it must have how many electrons?
The atom must have 8 electrons to make it have a neutral charge
A neutral atom that has 8 protons must have?
8 electrons to maintain a neutral charge in order to balance the 8 positive charges from the protons in the nucleus.
A certain oxygen atom has an atomic number of 8 and a mass number of 16 what is the number of neutrons in the atom?
oxygen has atomic number 8. It means that there are 8 protons (positively charged) adn 8 electrons (negatively charged). Since the number of positive charges and negative charges is equal, they both nullify each other and atom become electrically stable. The number of neutrons don't matter as they are neutral in charge.
How many electrons does a neutral isotope of C with 8 neutrons have?
A neutral isotope of carbon with 8 neutrons will have 6 electrons. This is because carbon has an atomic number of 6, which is the number of protons, and in a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of protons.

What does it mean when an atom is both stable and neutral?
An atom of an element for example Neon (Ne) is neutral (no positive or negative charge as it has 8 electrons in the outer shell) and is very stable. It is a noble gas because the outer electron shell is filled which makes it largely chemically inert, and it is stable because it's usual isotope does not undergo nuclear decay. Most of the 92 naturally occurring elements, in their most abundant isotope, are stable.
How many atoms does a bromine atom have?
Bromine has 35 electrons in its neutral state, and, as it is a halogen, 36 in its most stable ion. So it would have 4 shells, with 2, 8, 18, and 7 electrons in the neutral state, or 2, 8 ,18 and 8 electrons in its stable ion.
A neutral atom that has 8 protons must have?
8 electrons to maintain a neutral charge in order to balance the 8 positive charges from the protons in the nucleus.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in oxygen atom with the mass number of 15?
An oxygen atom with a mass number of 15 has 8 protons, 7 neutrons, and 8 electrons. The atomic number of oxygen is 8, which indicates the number of protons and, in a neutral atom, also the number of electrons. The number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number (15 - 8 = 7).
A certain oxygen atom has an atomic number of 8 and a mass number of 16 what is the number of neutrons in the atom?
oxygen has atomic number 8. It means that there are 8 protons (positively charged) adn 8 electrons (negatively charged). Since the number of positive charges and negative charges is equal, they both nullify each other and atom become electrically stable. The number of neutrons don't matter as they are neutral in charge.
An atom of oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and a mass number of 18. How many of each type of subatomic particle does it contain?
An oxygen atom with an atomic number of 8 has 8 protons and, since the mass number is 18, it has 10 neutrons (mass number = protons + neutrons, so 18 - 8 = 10). To balance the charge, it typically has 8 electrons, equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom. Therefore, this oxygen atom contains 8 protons, 10 neutrons, and 8 electrons.
How does a atom become stable?
When the atom has 8 valence electrons.
How do you write the standard atomic notation for neutral atom?
Beryllium for example would be. 7 2 Be 4 7= The mass number (+Protons and +/- neutrons added) 4 = The +protons 2 = The oxidation state. Beryllium would have 2 valance -electrons, hence the two. It has to lose 2 -electrons to be stable. For a metal it would be how many electrons it has to gain to be stable (Full valence shell). Be = Is obviously the symbol of the element.
How many electrons are in a neutral bromine atom?
There are 35 electrons in a neutral boron atom arranged in the order 2, 8, 18, 7.
How many electrons does a neutral isotope of C with 8 neutrons have?
A neutral isotope of carbon with 8 neutrons will have 6 electrons. This is because carbon has an atomic number of 6, which is the number of protons, and in a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
