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.

An atom with 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons would be a neutral atom with a mass of 8.

A neutral atom that has 8 protons must have?
8 electrons.
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 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?
Carbon's atomic number is 6; therefore, any neutral isotope of Carbon will always have exactly 6 electrons: stable neutrons have nothing to do with the electron count of an atom.

A neutral atom that has 8 protons must have?
8 electrons.
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.
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
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.
If a neutral atom has a mass of 15 amu and an atomic number of 7 whats the number of protons neutrons and electrons in the atom?
The protons is 7, the neutrons is 8, and the electrons is 22.
Atoms are more stable in their outer shell if they have?
A chemical stable atom is when it has the same number has electrons and protons. When the electrons and the protons are same it cannot react with any other atom till then and the atoms are called as inert atoms.
How many electrons does a neutral isotope of C with 8 neutrons have?
Carbon's atomic number is 6; therefore, any neutral isotope of Carbon will always have exactly 6 electrons: stable neutrons have nothing to do with the electron count of an atom.
What atom is a stable atom?
Those atoms which are not radiatin alfa, beta or gama rays r cald stabl atoms
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.
