the # of protons and electrons is 8 as it is shown on the Periodic Table of elements.
Oxygen has 8 protons- the atomic number is the number of protons an atom has. A single oxygen atom contains 8 electrons to balance this charge, but oxygen is diatomic- meaning it will be O2 instead of just one Oxygen molecule.
8 protons 8 electrons and 8 neutrons. Oxygen has the atomic number 8, so it has 8 protons, 8 electrons. The number of neutrons would be mass number-atomic number, so 15.9994-8=7.9994, so rounding would be 8 neutrons.
Oxygen has 8 protons. The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which defines the element. Oxygen's atomic number is 8, so it has 8 protons.
8 since the atomic number equals the number of protons!!
Oxygen has 8 protons, 8 neutrons and 8 electrons. The symbol for oxygen is O and the atomic number is 8.

Oxygen has 8 protons. The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which defines the element. Oxygen's atomic number is 8, so it has 8 protons.
An atom of oxygen has 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons. The number of protons determines the element's identity and is equal to the atomic number, while the number of neutrons can vary, leading to different isotopes. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
Oxygen has 8 electrons and protons. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope: Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the isotope - Number of protons
The atomic number of oxygen is 8. So it has 8 protons, 8 electrons. O-17 isotope has 9 neutrons (17 - 8 = 9)
it has 4 protons and 15 electrons!!!Ans 2.Oxygen has 8 protons.p.s. like all atoms, it has the same number of electrons as protons : 8.
8
Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, which means it has 8 protons. Given a neutrally charged atom, the atomic number will be equal to the number of electrons, so again, there are 8 electrons. Ionized oxygen, which is still the same element, has gained or lost electrons such that it has a net positive charge (more protons than electrons) or negative charge (more electrons than protons). The primary isotope of oxygen, Oxygen-16 (that number being the sum of protons and neutrons), also has 8 neutrons. Rarer isotopes have fewer or greater numbers of neutrons with the same number of protons, but for the purposes of your question, 8 neutrons is the answer.
8 since the atomic number equals the number of protons!!
Oxygen has 8 protons, 8 neutrons and 8 electrons. The symbol for oxygen is O and the atomic number is 8.
An element's atomic number gives its number of protons. Oxygen's atomic number is 8. Thus, it has 8 protons.
