The atomic number of oxygen is 8 therefore oxygen atoms always contain 8 neutrons?
No. In chemistry and physics, the atomic number (also known as the proton number) is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. As electrical charge is always balanced it is also the number of electrons to be found in the electron shells surrounding the atomic nucleus. Neutrons are electrically neutral (they pad out and stabilize the atomic nucleus) and their number in an atomic nucleus can vary, giving rise to the various isotopes of the element. In the case of Oxygen, the main isotopes are: 16O with 8 neutrons 17O with 9 neutrons 18O with 10 neutrons
How many oxygen atoms are present in the compound molybdenumIII phosphate?
The chemical formula is MoPO4; the molecule contain four oxygen atoms.
What does sulphates contain?
sulfur and four oxygen atoms
Do compounds always contain different types of atoms?
Yes, all the compounds contain different types of atoms.
How many oxygen atoms are in 6 molecules of water?
6 atoms of oxygen are present. Three O2 contains 6 O atoms.
How many protons and nuetron's do oxygen have?
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.
Do atoms always contain the same number of protons as neutrons?
yes
What is the number of protons neutrons and electrons of OXYGEN?
All oxygen atoms contain 8 protons in their nuclei. All neutral oxygen atoms have 8 electrons. There are three isotopes of oxygen, containing 8,9, or 10 neutrons in their nuclei.
What is the number of protons neutrons electrons of oxygen?
All oxygen atoms contain 8 protons in their nuclei. All neutral oxygen atoms have 8 electrons. There are three isotopes of oxygen, containing 8,9, or 10 neutrons in their nuclei.
Do atoms have neutrons in them?
Atoms of all elements can have neutrons in them. Only the element hydrogen has an isotope whose atoms do not contain neutrons, but all other isotopes of hydrogen have neutrons in them. In the heavier elements the number of neutrons always exceeds the number of protons in the atom.
Why are atoms building blocks?
Atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons.Protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons.
What are the three subatomic particles of a molecule?
A molecule contains atoms e.g. water (H2O) The atoms, ( hydrogen and oxygen, and all other atoms) contain protons, neutrons in the nucleus of the atoms and electrons in energy shells around the nucleus. Protons, neutrons and electrons are sub-atomic particles.
Do hydrocarbon molecules always contain hydrogen carbon and oxygen atoms?
No.Hydrocarbon molecules contain hydrogen and carbon atoms.It is carbohydrate molecules that contain hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms.
Which two elements do oxygen and silicon contain?
Oxygen contain oxygen atoms and silicon contain silicon atoms.
Is there a neutron inside of water?
A water molecule consists of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom has several neutrons; the hydrogen atom typically contains none. A small percentage of the hydrogen atoms are deuterium or tritium, which do contain neutrons.
What does a atoms nucleus contain?
protons and neutrons
What does atoms nucleus contain?
protons and neutrons
