Question

which of the following describes a neutral atom of oxygen?. a.6 protons. 6 neutrons, 6 electrons. b. 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 8 electrons. c. 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 10 electrons. d. 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons

Answer 1

the one that describe a neutral atom of oxygen would be : D. 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons

In periodic table, oxygen has a mass number of 16 and 8 electrons

In order to get neutrons, we just need to subtract 16 with 8 , and we get 8 neutrons

hope this helps

Answer 2

D. 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons
