Atoms of oxygen have a total of 8 electrons. Are these atoms stable, and why or why not?.

Chemistry
1 answer:
galben [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

these atoms are stable because a stable atom has a net charge of 0. In other words, it has an equal number of protons and electrons. The positive protons cancel out the negative electrons. In this question they mention that the number of electrons is 8, now if we see the proton/atomic number of oxygen, it is also 8. Therefore, the net charge becomes zero and hence the atoms are stable.

hope that helps..

Definition of proton and example
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

An elementary particle that is identical with the nucleus of the hydrogen atom, that along with the neutron is a constituent of all other atomic nuclei, that carries a positive charge numerically equal to the charge of an electron.

Example:

The nucleus of a hydrogen atom or the H+ ion is an example of a proton. Regardless of the isotope, each atom of hydrogen has 1 proton; each helium atom contains 2 protons; each lithium atom contains 3 protons and so on.
