Answer. (c) The t wo O-atoms in CH3COOC2H5 can have different number of neutrons only if the two O-atoms are isotopes. It is because, isotopes of an element have same number of protons (and electrons) but different number of neutrons.a sample of ethyl ethanoate (CH3COOC2H5) the two oxygen atoms have the same number of electrons but different number of neutrons.
