Question

n that oxygen-16 and oxygen-18 both have an atomic number of 8, how many electrons, protons, and neutrons do these oxygen atoms contain? A. The oxygen allotropes contain 8 electrons but each contains a different number of neutrons and protons - 8 and 10 respectively B. Any oxygen atom contains 8 electrons and 9 neutrons but these vary in the number of protons - 8 and 10 respectively C. Both oxygen isotopes contain 8 electrons and 8 protons but each contains a different number of neutrons -8 and 10 respectively D. These oxygen configurations contain the same number of subatomic particles - 8 electrons, 6 protons and 10 neutrons

Answer 1

c is the correct option.....

these oxygens are isotopes of each other i.e same atomic number but different atomic mass......
