Question

2.
Write the different types of isotopes of
oxygen and its percentage abundance.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The element oxygen has three stable isotopes: 16O, 17O, and 18O.

Because protons and neutrons are roughly equal in mass, an isotope's number is equal to the sum of its protons and neutrons. Therefore, oxygen 16 has 8 protons and 8 neutrons, oxygen 17 has 8 protons and 9 neutrons, and oxygen 18 has 8 protons and 10 neutrons.
