    8 protons

    8 electrons

    10 neutrons

    Explanation:

    The structure of an atom is made up of protons in the middle (nucleus) followed by neutrons surrounding the nucleus, and in the outer orbit you find the electrons. To obtain the subatomic particle number of an atom, we calculate the atomic number and the mass number of the said atom.
