Atomic number of oxygen: 8

After the IUPAC Tables, 2009 the atomic weight of oxygen is

[15,99903; 15,99977].

The abridged conventional atomic weight is (also after the IUPAC Tables, 2009) 15,999; following the IUPAC tradition the correct expression is atomic weight, not Atomic Mass.

The atomic number of oxygen is 8.

The mass number is the sum of neutrons and protons in the atomic nucleus and is different for each isotope of any element.

For example the isotope oxygen-16 has the mass number 16.
