Because if it did it would be Fluorine
Oxygen-17 has 8 protons, 8 electrons and 9 neutrons.
8+ because O-17 is an isotope of oxygen. but the atomic number of an isotope is the same as the original atom and the atomic number tells the number of protons. since Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, the charge of the nucleus would also be 8+
there are 8 protons in an oxygen atom
Oxygen has 8 protons in the atom.
Oxygen-17 and oxygen-18 are isotopes of oxygen, which are different atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Both of them have 8 protons in their nucleus and 8 electrons but oxygen-17 has 9 neutrons which oxygen-18 has 10 neutrons.
8 protons and 9 neutrons (total is the atomic mass number 17). In a neutral atom, 8 electrons. Oxygen-17 is the rarest of the three stable natural isotopes. Most oxygen is oxygen-16 with 8 neutrons.
The atomic number of oxygen is 8. So it has 8 protons, 8 electrons. O-17 isotope has 9 neutrons (17 - 8 = 9)
The atomic number of Oxygen is 8, which is also the number of protons.
Oxygen has eight protons.
Oxigen has 8 protons; natural isotopes have 8, 9 an 10 neutrons.
An oxygen always has 8 protons and normally has 8 neutrons, but a very small minority of oxygen atoms are isotopes of oxygen-17 or oxygen-18 which contain 9 or 10 neutrons respectively.
Oxygen-17 has 8 protons, 8 electrons and 9 neutrons.
8+ because O-17 is an isotope of oxygen. but the atomic number of an isotope is the same as the original atom and the atomic number tells the number of protons. since Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, the charge of the nucleus would also be 8+
there are 8 protons in an oxygen atom
It is simply oxygen-17
Oxygen has 8 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is 8, 9 or 10 for the natural isotopes of oxygen.
There are 8 protons in an oxygen atom. There are two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule. Therefore, there are 16 protons in an oxygen molecule
