Answer:

<em />

<em>                    Atom (O)           Ion (O²⁻)</em>

<em>Protons             8                       8</em>

<em>Electrons          8                      10</em>

<em>Neutrons          8                       8   </em>      ← only for the oxygen-16 isotope.

* The number of neutrons depends on the specific isotope. It is equal to the mass number of the isotope less the number of protons.

Explanation:

<em>Oxygen</em> is the element with atomic number 8. That means that the oxygen atoms have 8 protons.

Protons have relative positive charge equal to +1 and electrons have relative negative charge -1: same magnitude opposite sign.

Thus, the neutral oxygen, O, has also 8 electrons and 8 protons.

As per the number neutrons it depends on the specific isotope.

The isotopes are identified by the mass number, which is the number of protons plus neutrons. For instance, oxygen-16 isotope has mass number 16, 8 protons and 8 neutrons, while oxygen-15 isotope has mass number 15, 8 protons and 7 neutrons.

Oxide ion O²⁻ is the oxygen ion with -2 charge, meaning that it has 2 more electrons than protons. Then, it has 8 protons and 10 electrons, again the number of neutrons depend of the specific isotope.

The stability of an atoms or ion refers to its trend to remain in the same state or react to form another species. The ions O²⁻ are less stable than the neutral atoms O, because the negative charge will be attracted to any positive ion so ti will react faster than the neutral oxygen atom (O).

What is the connection between diamonds and stardust?
Ede4ka [16]

According to an article dated back in February 8, 1992 which is entitled, “Science: Stardust is made of diamonds” on a website called newscientist (https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg13318073-000-science-stardust-is-made-of-diamonds/), American astronomers believed that diamonds are made in supernova explosions. It was said that the diamonds were the foundation of uncommon combinations of isotopes found in some meteorites. Donald Clayton of Clemson University in South Carolina suggested that the weightiest isotopes were more common in meteorites for the reason that the rare gases shaped in the neutron-rich outcome of a supernova explosion. Clayton also said, “the observed mixture of isotopes could have been produced only during the collapse of a massive star to form a neutron star”. This happens in a Type II explosion, for example the Supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud. And rare gases like xenon become stuck in both weighty and light isotopes after the ejected gas from such a supernova cools down enough to create dust. The existence of the diamonds with these unusual gases in meteorites infers an alike source. Some of the carbon in the supernova fragments produces ordinary graphite dust, whereas some produces diamond dust. Considerable amount of stardust may be made of diamonds, if Clayton was not mistaken.
