Answer:

Answer 9: Oxygen is atomic number 8 on the periodic table, which means it has 8 protons!

Explanation:

Oxygen's 8 electrons are negatively charged, and they orbit the atomic nucleus and balance the positive charge of the 8 protons. The positive charge of 1 proton exactly cancels the negative charge of 1 electron.
