Oxygen isotope 16
Oxygen is the only element with 8 protons.
Oxygen has an atomic mass of 8 and typically has 8 neutrons.
The number of neutrons in an element can be determined by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass number (which is the sum of protons and neutrons). For an element with an atomic mass of 16, if we consider the most common isotope of oxygen (which has an atomic number of 8), it would have 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons. Thus, the element with an atomic mass of 16 typically has 8 neutrons.
An atom with 8 protons will have an atomic number of 8. Checking the periodic table, we see this element is oxygen. The isotope of oxygen with 8 neutrons is 16O.
The element with 6 neutrons and 8 other neutrons is carbon. Carbon-12 is the most common isotope of carbon, with 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-14 is another isotope of carbon, with 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

Oxygen has an atomic mass of 8 and typically has 8 neutrons.
The element that has 8 protons and 8 neutrons is oxygen.
Oxygen. The Elements Atomic Number tells you the number of protons and it's amu is generally the weight of all of the averaged isotopes so since it is nearly 16 (not all O's have 8 neutrons) it is Oxygen.
The element with 6 protons and 8 neutrons is carbon-14, which is a radioactive isotope of carbon.
The number of neutrons in an element can be determined by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass number (which is the sum of protons and neutrons). For an element with an atomic mass of 16, if we consider the most common isotope of oxygen (which has an atomic number of 8), it would have 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons. Thus, the element with an atomic mass of 16 typically has 8 neutrons.
