If you had looked in the Periodic Table, you would have seen that the element Oxygen has an Atomic Mass of 16 (or more precisely 15.9994) and if you were to take that atomic mass and subtract the atomic number from it (i.e. 8) you would get a difference of 8 which is the number of neutrons it contains. In short, oxygen is that element.
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. Therefore, atomic mass of oxygen is 15.
The number of neutrons in an atom can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass. In this case, an atomic mass of 16 and atomic number of 8 for oxygen means there are 8 neutrons (16 - 8 = 8).
Well, if an atom has 16 protons, then it is Sulfur, which is a non metal. If it had 16 neutrons, then it would be another isotope of sulfur, which would make it Sulfur-32. Then, unless it has a charge, there would also be 16 electrons.
The atomic mass of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Therefore, if an atom has 16 neutrons, its atomic mass would be the total of the protons and neutrons. For example, if the atom has 8 protons, the atomic mass would be 16 (neutrons) + 8 (protons) = 24.
Mass number = no. of protons + neutrons Atomic number = no. of protonsThus (mass number - atomic number) gives you no. of neutrons.Therefore for phosphorus, the number of neutrons would be 16.

Sulfur has 16 neutrons. To find out how many neutrons an element has you subtract the atomic number of that element by the atomic mass. omg thank you so much
The number of neutrons in an atom can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass. In this case, an atomic mass of 16 and atomic number of 8 for oxygen means there are 8 neutrons (16 - 8 = 8).
31 - 15 = 16 neutrons
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.
There are 8 neutrons in oxygen element because the no. of electrons are equal to the number of protons and oxygen element contain 8 electrons.

The atomic mass number of oxygen is 16.0. --------- 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. After IUPAC Tables from 2009 the atomic weight of oxygen is [15,99903; 15,99977]. The conventional (abridged) atomic weight is 15.999 amu.
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 mass of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Therefore, if an atom has 16 neutrons, its atomic mass would be the total of the protons and neutrons. For example, if the atom has 8 protons, the atomic mass would be 16 (neutrons) + 8 (protons) = 24.
The number of neutrons in an atom depends on the isotope. The most common sulfur isotope has 16. The average number of neutrons in an atom of sulfur is about 32.065.
Mass number = no. of protons + neutrons Atomic number = no. of protonsThus (mass number - atomic number) gives you no. of neutrons.Therefore for phosphorus, the number of neutrons would be 16.
