Why do 10 oxygen atoms weigh more than 10 carbon atoms?
Because an oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutrons and 8 electrons. A carbon atom has only 6 of each. So 1 oxygen atom weighs more than 1 carbon atom and therefore 10 oxygen atoms weigh more than 10 carbon atoms.
How many times heavier is a copper atom compared to an oxygen atom?
A copper atom is about 63 times heavier than an oxygen atom. This is because copper has an atomic number of 29 and oxygen has an atomic number of 8, meaning that a copper atom has approximately 63 times more protons and neutrons in its nucleus than an oxygen atom.
Protons and neutrons together are known as?
no there are different elements, and you can check a periodic table for more information.
What happens when an atom as more protons and neutrons?

When an atom has an unbalanced ratio of protons and neutrons what will it try to do to stabalize itself?
There generally isn't a problem; the more protons an atom has, the more neutrons it takes to glue them together. A Helium atom has two protons and generally two neutrons; in every other stable atom, there are more neutrons than protons. There are isotopes of elements with fewer-than-normal numbers of neutrons; these isotopes are generally unstable and radioactive, and will generally decay into other elements.
What is an oxygen atom with 10 neutrons?
An oxygen atom with 10 neutrons would have a mass number of 17 (8 protons + 10 neutrons) and isotope oxygen-17. This isotope is a rare form of oxygen and differs from the more common oxygen-16 isotope in having two extra neutrons.
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.
He atomic number of oxygen is 8 What is the mass number of an oxygen atom with 7 neutrons?
The atomic mass of oxygen (8 protons + 7 neutrons) is 15.For finding the atomic mass of any element, we have to get sum of number of protons & number of neutrons. Atomic Mass (A) : p+n.p = no. of protons.n = no. of neutrons.
Is an oxygen atom bigger than a hydrogen atom?
An oxygen atom has 8 of each neutrons, electrons, and protons. While a carbon atom has only 6 of each. I had the same problem! So i hope this helped :)

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.
How can you use the word neutrons in a sentence?
Hydrogen has one proton, and one electron. However deuterium is hydrogen with one neutrons. Tritium has one proton and two neutrons.
Protons and neutrons together are known as?
no there are different elements, and you can check a periodic table for more information.
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called what?
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called an Isotope.
How many neutrons does oxygen have?
The simple answer is 8 neutrons. But this depends on which oxygen isotope you are talking about. Oxygen-16, the most abundant oxygen isotope, has 8 neutrons.
How many more neutrons are in an isotope of carbon-14 than in a standard carbon atom?
There are 8 more neutrons in an isotope of carbon-14 than in a standard carbon atom. Carbon-14 has 8 neutrons, while a standard carbon atom (carbon-12) has 6 neutrons.
