The number of protons in an atom of an element is equal to the number of electrons in that atom which is equal to that element's atomic number.
The atomic number of oxygen is 8. So, it has 8 protons always.
It is 15.999
Oxygens Atomic Mass is 16.0
Oxygen is a gas. atomic number of it is 8.
The atomic weight of oxygen is approximately 16.00 grams per mole.
Atomic Mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the atom, plus any additional mass conferred by electrons. (Since electrons are roughly 1/1837th of a proton's mass, this additional mass is minuscule and is only represented in atoms that have atomic numbers at the higher end of the table.) It should be an integer/whole number.The reason that most elements have a number with decimals for their atomic mass numbers on the Periodic Table is because those numbers average all of the different isotopes of the element in proportion to how common they are. For example, Oxygen has an atomic mass number of 15.999 since the overwhelming majority of oxygens have 8 protons and 8 neutrons for a total atomic mass number of 16, but there are some rare oxygens with 8 protons and 7 neutrons for a total atomic mass number of 15. Once these are averaged, since the 16s are much more common, the resulting number is 15.999.

Sulfuric acid itself does not have an atomic number as it is not an element. Sulfuric acid is a compound that is comprised of two atoms of hydrogen, 1 sulfur and 4 oxygens. To determine the "atomic mass" of sulfuric acid, just add up the atomic masses for each of 7 atoms that it is made of.
