With the exception of helium, the group 18 atoms will have as their Lewis structure the elemental symbol surrounded by 4 pairs of electrons, each electron represented by a dot. These are the noble gases, and they are, for the most part, chemically inert, which means they do not typically react with any other elements. Helium will only have one pair of electrons shown.

The same as for 16-Oxygen!I think you may have been thrown a trick question. Isotopes have NO effect on proton or electron numbers, only neutrons.

Just draw the same Lewis structure you would for any oxygen (6 valance electrons).
