Question

what is the charge of a particle of oxygen that contains 8 protons and 8 electrons

Answer 1

Answer:

Neutral

Explanation:

The charge of an oxygen atom is neutral.

Answer 2

The charge should be positive.

The following information should be considered;

• In the case when an atom had 8 protons and 8 electrons  i.e. oxygen  knocking one of the electrons out, makes 8 protons and 7 electrons.
• The atom now has a net charge of +1 because the 7 electrons cancel the positive charges of 7 of the protons in the nucleus, but there is one remaining proton with a positive charge.
