4+ because however much more protons there are then that is the charge
We know that sodium is atomic number 11, and it has 11 protons, 11 electrons (in a neutral atom), and will have 12 neutrons in its sodium-23 isotope. Sulfur is atomic number 16, and will have 16 protons, 16 electrons (in a neutral atom), and will have 16 neutrons in it sulfur-32 isotope. Oxygen has atomic number 8, and has 8 protons, 8 electrons (in a neutral atom) and will have 8 neutrons in its oxygen 16 isotope. If we take 2 sodium atoms, a sulfur atom and 4 oxygen atoms, we'll have a total of 70 protons, 72 neutrons and 70 electrons in sum.
Oxygen-16 has 8 electrons and 8 neutrons.
When helium capture occurs with a carbon-12 nucleus, the result is oxygen-16. This is because the combination of a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons) with a carbon-12 nucleus (6 protons and 6 neutrons) produces an oxygen-16 nucleus (8 protons and 8 neutrons).
Mathematically it is Chromium 24Cr52 but within nucleus alpha particles separately do not exist they are only produced during radioactive disintegration.
No, Phosphorus 31 does not have 16 protons. All Phosphorus atoms have the same number of protons, since the number of protons is what determines which element it is. For phosphorus, the atomic number is 15, meaning it has 15 protons. Phosphorus 31 also has 16 neutrons and 15 electrons.
I believe it is two isotopes of an element. Because an isotope is the amount of protons. with a different number of neutrons in the nucleus. hopefully this will help :)
An atom of Sulfur-33 contains 16 protons (because it is sulfur), 17 neutrons (because of the isotope number 33), and 16 electrons (since atoms are electrically neutral).
16 neutrons and 16 protons

An atom of sulfur has 16 protons and 16 electrons. Depending on the isotope, it can have anywhere from 16 to 20 neutrons.
Oxygen has 8 protons as its atomic number is 8. It therefore has 8 electrons also for charge neutrality. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope. O-15 isotope will have 7 neutrons, O-16 isotope will have 8 neutrons. (Note: Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutrons)
Its charge must be +1, no matter how many neutrons are there.
The isotope with 16 protons and 15 neutrons is oxygen-31.
Oxigen has 8 protons; natural isotopes have 8, 9 an 10 neutrons.
