Question

building atoms
complete the table for the given element. then, build the atom by dragging the correct
number of protons, neutrons, and electrons to their correct location on the diagram.
build it!
element oxygen
symbol/
abbreviation
atomic number
atomic mass

of protons

of neutrons

of electrons

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the symbol/abbreviation

Oxygen has the symbol \(O\).

Step2: Find the atomic number

Oxygen's atomic number is \(8\) (from the periodic table).

Step3: Determine the atomic mass

The atomic mass of oxygen (most common isotope) is approximately \(16\).

Step4: Calculate the number of protons

Protons = atomic number = \(8\).

Step5: Calculate the number of neutrons

Neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number = \(16 - 8=8\).

Step6: Calculate the number of electrons

In a neutral atom, electrons = protons = \(8\).

Answer:

ELEMENT	OXYGEN
ATOMIC NUMBER	\(8\)
ATOMIC MASS	\(16\)
# OF PROTONS	\(8\)
# OF NEUTRONS	\(8\)
# OF ELECTRONS	\(8\)
