Question

There are three stable isotopes of oxygen having mass ­numbers 16, 17 and 18. Determine the number of neutrons and protons in each of these.

Accepted Answer

^{16}O: Neutrons = 8, Protons = 8, ^{17}O: Neutrons = 9, Protons = 8, ^{18}O: Neutrons = 10, Protons = 8

Answer

^{16}O: Neutrons = 16, Protons = 8, ^{17}O: Neutrons = 17, Protons = 8, ^{18}O: Neutrons = 18, Protons = 8

Answer

^{16}O: Neutrons = 8, Protons = 8, ^{17}O: Neutrons = 8, Protons = 9, ^{18}O: Neutrons = 8, Protons = 10

Answer

^{16}O: Neutrons = 8, Protons = 16, ^{17}O: Neutrons = 8, Protons = 17, ^{18}O: Neutrons = 8, Protons = 18
