Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Understand that the notation 18 O refers to an element of oxygen with a specific number associated with it.

Recall that isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different mass numbers.

Recognize that the number 18 in 18 O represents the mass number, which is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the oxygen atom.

Compare this to the common oxygen isotope, which has a mass number of 16 (8 protons and 8 neutrons), so 18 O has 8 protons and 10 neutrons.

Conclude that 18 O is an isotope of oxygen, as it differs in neutron number but is the same element.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Isotopes

Isotopes are variants of a chemical element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different atomic masses. For example, oxygen-18 (18O) has 8 protons and 10 neutrons, unlike the most common oxygen-16 isotope with 8 neutrons.

Isotopes

Isomers

Isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements or spatial orientations. This concept applies mainly to organic compounds and does not relate to atomic notation like 18O.

Ions

Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net electrical charge. The notation 18O does not indicate a charge, so it is not an ion.
