A neutral stable atom with a mass of 8 is most likely oxygen-16, which has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus. This isotope of oxygen is the most common form of oxygen found in nature. Its stability is due to the balance between the attractive nuclear force and the repulsive electromagnetic force within 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


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 does a atom become stable?

When the atom has 8 valence electrons.


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 are in a neutral bromine atom?

There are 35 electrons in a neutral boron atom arranged in the order 2, 8, 18, 7.


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 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 a oxygen atom have?

oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutron's. since they 8 protons they also have 8 electrons in there neutral state.


Is the chlorine atom stable?

Yes, the chlorine atom is stable. It has a full outer electron shell with 8 electrons, making it a highly reactive and stable element.
