No. Oxygen has 8 protons. The element with 16 protons is sulfur. Oxygen-16 is the most common isotope of oxygen. The 16 refers to its atomic weight, which is the result of there being 8 protons and 8 neutrons.

What is the difference between an oxygen 16 atom and an oxygen 18 atom?
In the nucleus of an oxygen-18 atom there are 10 neutrons while in the nucleus of an oxygen-16 atom there are only 8 neutrons. The number of electrons and protons always stay the same.
How many neurtons does oxygen have?
oxygen has 8 neutrons. you get the answer by subtracting the atomic numner for oxygen which is also the number of protons, from the atomic mass. 16 - 8 = 8
Is the mass of a hydrogen atom different from the mass of an oxygen atom?
all atoms have different masses Mass of an atom is due to protons and neutrons present in an atom and number of proton is something that distinguish between atoms, therefore mass of hydrogen is different to the mass number of oxygen, hydrogen's mass is 1 as it has only 1 proton and no neutrons, and oxygen mass's is 16 as it has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
What is the atomic number for the oxygen atom?
The mass number is the sum of neutrons and protons in the atomic nucleus and is different for each isotope of any element. For example the isotope oxygen-16 has the mass number 16. The atomic weight of oxygen (not Atomic Mass) is [15,99903; 15,99977] after the IUPAC Tables - 2009. The atomic number of oxygen is 8.
Is oxygen 17 and oxygen 18 the same isotopes of oxygen?
they are different isotopes of oxygen, oxygen-17 has one more neutron than oxygen-16 making it slightly heavier. Oxygen-17 will react slightly slower than oxygen-16 since it has more mass.
How many protons are in an oxygen molecule?
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
How many protons does a neutral atom of oxygen -16 have?
8 protons
How many protons are in oxygen 16?
8
How many protons are in an oxygen-16 nucleus?
The atomic number of oxygen is 8, which means that there are 8 protons in the nucleus of an oxygen atom. Mass number = protons + neutrons, therefore neutrons = mass number - protons = 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons.
What does the number 16 in the name oxygen represent?
Protons!
What isotope has 16 neutrons 16 protons and 16 electrons?
Sulfur-32 has 16 protons, neutrons and electrons each.
How many neutrons and electrons does oxygen-16 have?
8 since the atomic number equals the number of protons!!
What is the mass of the protons in an oxygen-16 atom?
8 protons,8 neutrons, and 8 electrons
How many protons are ther in an atom of an oxygen?
Oxygen has 8 protons in the atom.
An oxygen atom has?
an oxygen atom has 16 electrons, 2 shells and 4 neutrons and protons.
Oxygen has eight protons in its nucleus. calculate the number of neutrons and electrons in a neutral oxygen 16 atoms?
Oxygen-16 has 8 electrons and 8 neutrons.
How is the nucleus of oxygen-18 atom different to the nucleus of oxygen-16 atom?
The difference between Oxygen - 15 and Oxygen - 16 is that of Isotope. Oxygen's atomic number is 8 as it contains 8 proton but the neutron number may vary in order to form an isotope, the oxygen found in the air is 98 percent oxygen 16, the rest is oxygen 15. Oxygen 16 = 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons. 16 is the mass number which is equal to the (number of proton + number of neutrons) Oxygen 15 = 8 protons, 7 neutrons, 8 electrons. 15 is the mass number which is equal to the (number of proton + number of neutrons) Oxygen 15 is known as the "Isotope" of Oxygen 16.
