Because if it did it would be Fluorine
Oxygen-17 has 8 protons, 8 electrons and 9 neutrons.
An oxygen atom has 8 protons, 8 electrons, and either 8 or 9 neutrons, depending on the isotope.
there are 8 protons in an oxygen atom
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+
Oxigen has 8 protons; natural isotopes have 8, 9 an 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.
Oxygen-17 has 8 protons, 8 electrons and 9 neutrons.
The element with 8 protons is oxygen. To determine the name of the isotope with 9 neutrons, the number of neutrons added to the number of protons gives oxygen-17 which is called oxygen-17.
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.
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, meaning it has 8 protons. If the isotope has 9 neutrons, the mass number would be 8 protons + 9 neutrons = 17. Therefore, the mass number of this oxygen isotope is 17.
No, oxygen-16 atom has 8 protons, while oxygen-17 atom has 8 protons plus 9 neutrons.
there are 8 protons in an oxygen atom
An oxygen atom has 8 protons, 8 electrons, and either 8 or 9 neutrons, depending on the isotope.
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.
