I was always told it was 0.14 nanometres,
But!!! there is alot of debate about it since other factors have to be taken into account e.g. the valance diameter, and ionic diameter. And at the end of the day an atom isn't a solid thing so anything that tells you the atomic radius is just the best representation.
oh, and there's going to be inter-atomic forces and van der walls forces acting there too, so i dunno.
Chemists like to say its around 1-10nm, i don't know why , but its certainly no bigger than 1nm.
But I'm a nano guy not a solids guy, soo.....

Does oxygen contain one atom of nitrogen?
no oxygen is an element of one atom and that's an oxygen atom
Diameter of the center of the atom of hydrogen?
The atomic nucleus of hydrogen atom has a diameter of 1,75 femtometres.
Is an oxygen atom have twice the mass of a sulphur atom?
No. On average a sulfur atom is twice the mass of an oxygen atom.
Does an oxygen atom weight the same as a hydrogen atom?
an oxygen and a hydrogen atom do not weight the same
Are there molecules in oxygen?
No, Oxygen is an atom, and as such is composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. There are no molecules in oxygen, but a single oxygen atom becomes a molecule when it is combined with another oxygen atom to form O2.

Diameter of the center of the atom of hydrogen?
The atomic nucleus of hydrogen atom has a diameter of 1,75 femtometres.
Is atomic mass and atomic diameter the same thing?
No, the atomic mass is the average mass of the atom and the atomic diameter is the average diameter of the atom
What is the atom with the smallest diameter?
A hydrogen atom has the smallest diameter because there is only one proton and neutron.
What is the co valency number of oxygen?
Two, unless an oxygen atom is bonded to another oxygen atom or to a fluorine atom.
What kind of charge would the oxygen atom have compared to the oxygen?
The oxygen atom is neutral.
Is an oxygen atom have twice the mass of a sulphur atom?
No. On average a sulfur atom is twice the mass of an oxygen atom.
Does an oxygen atom weight the same as a hydrogen atom?
an oxygen and a hydrogen atom do not weight the same
How much bigger is a hydrogen atom than a proton?
A hydrogen atom has a diameter of about 60 picometers while a proton has a diameter of 1.75 femotometers. So a hydrogen atom's diameter is about 35,000 times that of a proton.
Are there molecules in oxygen?
No, Oxygen is an atom, and as such is composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. There are no molecules in oxygen, but a single oxygen atom becomes a molecule when it is combined with another oxygen atom to form O2.
What is the difference between an oxygen atom and an oxygen molecule?
An oxygen atom is an atom with eight protons and eight electrons. An oxygen molecule is a particle that consists of two oxygen atoms that are bonded together.
