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, which means it has 8 protons in its nucleus. The mass number of oxygen is approximately 16, which accounts for the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus.
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.
The element with an atomic mass of 16 and 8 neutrons is oxygen. Oxygen has 8 protons in its nucleus, giving it an atomic number of 8. By subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass, we can determine the number of neutrons, which is 8 in this case.
The approximate mass of an oxygen atom in atomic mass units is 16. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, which means that its atomic mass is approximately 16 atomic mass units.
Look on the Periodic Table. The bottim number is the Atomic Mass and the top is the atomic number. ex. The atomic mass for O (oxygen) is 16.
Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
No, carbon and oxygen do not have the same atomic mass. Carbon has an atomic mass of approximately 12 atomic mass units, while oxygen has an atomic mass of approximately 16 atomic mass units.
