Atoms are made up of electrons, protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The oxygen atom has 8 electrons and 8 neutrons. How many protons must it have to have 0 charge?​

Answer :

Shamful

Answer:

Protons and neutrons each count for one AMU, and the electron counts for zero AMU. So, if the atomic mass of oxygen is 16, that means we have a total of 16 protons and neutrons. 16 total protons and neutrons minus 8 protons leaves us with 8 neutrons.
