Answer:It might have 10 neutrons

Reason: This is because an isotope of the same element must have the same number of electrons and protons so it can be assumed that the amount of neutrons can be changed.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.
Masses of atoms are the sum of protons and neutrons. Therefore when the number of neutrons change but protons are the same, then the masses of the atoms change.
isotope 1 has 8 protons , 8 electrons and 8 neutrons.
isotope 2 has 8 protons, 8 electrons and 10 neutrons

mass of isotope 1 is 16
and mass of isotope 2 is 18
