How many atoms are there in the element oxygen?

Answer 1

Two atoms in one molecules of O2

Answer 2

6.02214×1023 molecules (Avogadro's number)

seeing as how oxygen is a diatomic molecule; there are actually twice this number of ATOMS (as asked in the question)

Answer 3

It would depend on the size of the container, and how much, if any, it was compressed. I hope others can improve this answer. Whoever said that because it was a gas it didn't contain any atoms, well lets just say they don't know the difference between a hole in the ground and a body part on their backside.

Answer 4

Technically all elements contain one atom, the atom of the element itself - in this case, Oxygen. In nature Oxygen is one of 7 elements that is diatomic, and so will usually be found as O2, containing two Oxygen atoms.

Answer 5

The element oxygen exists in nature as a diatomic molecule, O2, containing two covalently bonded oxygen atoms.

Answer 6

In an oxygen atom, there are 8 protons and 8 electrons. The number of neutrons can vary depending on the isotope of oxygen. So, in total, there are 8 atoms involved in an oxygen atom.

Answer 7

There are only two atoms in oxygen gas.
