Answer:
Chemical elements are found in different versions, called isotopes. Isotopes are elements that contain the same amount of protons, but differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei. ... 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.
