Isotopes are different forms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. The atomic number of oxygen is 8. So both oxygen-16 and oxygen-17 have 8 protons (and 8 electrons). You get the number of neutrons by subtracting the mass number by the atomic number, so they would have 8 and 9 neutrons respectively.

How many proton and electrons and neutrons are there for carbon?

A carbon atom always contains six protons. In nature, carbon most commonly has six (12C, carbon-12), seven (13C, carbon-13) or eight (14C, carbon-14) neutrons. However, man-made isotopes of carbon contain as few as two neutrons (8C) or as many as sixteen (22C). Thirteen of the fifteen isotopes of Carbon (i.e. all except 12C and 13C) are radioactive. In addition to neutrons and protons, a carbon atom always has six electrons in orbits around the nucleus.

The atomic weight of an element whose atoms contain 8 protons 8 electrons and 8 neutrons is?

The atomic weight of an element is the weighted average of the masses of its isotopes. For an element with 8 protons and 8 neutrons (oxygen-16 isotope), the atomic weight would be close to 16 g/mol due to the equal number of protons and neutrons.
