Question

2. Atoms of 160, 170, and 180 have the same number of

Answer 1

Have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons

Further explanation

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)

SO the Three Common Isotopes Of Oxygen :

₈¹⁶O, ₈¹⁷O, and ₈¹⁸O have :

1. The same number of protons = atomic number = 8

2. Have a different number of neutrons :(neutrons= mass number-atomic number)

₈¹⁶O : neutron = 16-8=8

₈¹⁷O : neutron = 17-8=9

₈¹⁸O : neutron = 18-8=10
