How Many Neutrons Does Oxygen Have?


Answer:
Oxygen has eight neutrons for this isotope.

Explanation:


Hello, chemistry lover! today we are going to find out  how many neutrons oxygen have in just 3 steps.





To find out the number of neutrons  for oxygen,we have to have knowledge about atomic number,atomic mass,mass number of oxygen.



                    Step-1:



●The atomic number of oxygen is the number of protons in oxygen's nucleus.



●The atomic mass of oxygen is the average number of  protons plus neutrons of all the isotopes of oxygen.


●The Masss number of oxygen is the number of protons plus neutrons of a specific isotope of oxygen.

                    Step-2:


We need to convert atomic mass of oxygen to mass number of  oxygen by rounding if necessary (In case of fraction) .

From periodic table,



  ●Atomic number of oxygen  is 8(Eight).


●Atomic mass of  oxygen is 16.00


●To find out mass number,we need to round 16.00 to a whole number.So,by rounding,we are getting mass number  of oxygen.The mass number of oxygen is 16.





                    Step-3:


How Many Neutrons Does oxygen Have?

By the difference between mass number and atomic number of oxygen,we get the number of neutrons in oxygen.


●Number of neutrons=16-8=8
Therefore,the number of neutrons in oxygen is 8  here for this isotope.Remember that neutrons are present in the nucleous of oxygen and it's charge is zero.

● Number of electrons in oxygen is 8.Remember that number of electron equals to proton in a neutral atom.

●Number of protons in oxygen is 8.
