Best Answer

The isotope oxygen-18 has the mass number of 18. The atomic number of oxygen is 8, so all of its atoms, regardless of isotope, have 8 protons. In a neutral oxygen atom the number of protons equals the number of electrons, so it has 8 electrons. The number of neutrons equals the mass number minus the atomic number, which for oxygen-18 is (18 - 8), so there are 10 neutrons.
