Out of $O^{16}$ and $O^{18}$ isotopes, which has more number of neutrons?

Open in App

Solution

Nuclear compostion of $O^{16}$ is :

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = 16 – 8 = 8

Nuclear compostion of $O^{18}$ is :

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = 18 – 8 = 10

So $O^{18}$ has more number of neutrons.
