Answer 2

Answer:

An uncharged oxygen atom has eight protons and eight electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

The charges in the proton and electron are opposite. In a neutral atom or an uncharged atom in this case oxygen, the same amount of protons and electrons cancel out exactly each other, so this mean in an uncharged oxygen atom with eight protons there are 8 electrons.
