How is the nucleus of oxygen-18 atom different to the nucleus of oxygen-16 atom?

∙ 11y ago
The difference between Oxygen - 15 and Oxygen - 16 is that of Isotope.
Oxygen's atomic number is 8 as it contains 8 proton but the neutron number may vary in order to form an isotope, the oxygen found in the air is 98 percent oxygen 16, the rest is oxygen 15.
Oxygen 16 = 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons.
16 is the mass number which is equal to the (number of proton + number of neutrons)
Oxygen 15 = 8 protons, 7 neutrons, 8 electrons.
15 is the mass number which is equal to the (number of proton + number of neutrons)
Oxygen 15 is known as the "Isotope" of Oxygen 16.

Oxygen-17 has 9 neutrons and 8 protons.
The only difference is the Atomic Mass due to the different number of neutrons. Number of protons & electrons stay the same.
The difference is in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Oxygen-15 has 7 neutrons, oxygen-16 has 8, and oxygen-17 has 9.

∙ 12y agoThe isotopes are different. There are more in oxygen 17, than 16.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agooxygen atom has 8 proton and 8 neutrons
making it oxygen 16
in oxygen 18 number of protons is same but number of neutrons is 10...making it isotope of oxygen
Wiki User
∙ 13y agooxygen-16 and oxygen-17 are just as diffrent as carbon and carborn dioxed they have diffrent substance when you get that you will get the rest :)

∙ 13y agoThey're not so different. Both are stable isotopes. But there are far more 16O than 18O. 99.757% of the oxygen atoms in the world are 16O, and 0.205% are 18O.

∙ 11y agoNucleus of oxygen-18 contains 8 protons and 10 neutrons and nucleus of oxygen-16 contains 8 protons and 8 neutrons. Electrons in both being same. that means 8. These are two isotopes of oxygen.

What is the center of an atom called?
The center of an atom is called a nucleus (nucleifor plural).Center of an atom is called the "Nucleus".
What is the dense center of the atom called?
the denser part of an atom is the nucleus. about 99% of the mass of an atom is concentrated within the atom.
How an atom of C-13 is different from an atom of C-12?
In number of neutrons and mass of nucleus.
What effect does the nucleus have on atomic spectra of different elements?
Aside from determining how many electrons the atom has, the nucleus does not affect the spectra of that atom in any way.
What particles are at the center of an atom?
Atoms contain three different sub-atomic particles. Protons, which are particles with a positive charge, and neutrons, particles with a neutral charge are found in the nucleus at the center of the atom. Surrounding the nucleus are electrons, particles that have negative charge.
Where are protons and neutrons of an atom contained?
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Different amount of neutrons- Isotopes. Different amount of protons- Different element.
What is the mass and volume of the nucleus?
If you mean the nucleus of an atom, different atom have different masses - an uranium atom has more than 200 times the mass of a hydrogen-1 atom (and most of that mass is in the nucleus).
How is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom different from the nucleus helium atom?
The nucleus of hydrogen has 1 proton, whereas that of helium has 2 protons.
How is the nucleus of hydrogen atom different from the nucleus of the helium atom?
The nucleus of hydrogen has 1 proton, whereas that of helium has 2 protons.
How the nucleus of an oxygen-18 atom is different from the nucleus of an oxygen-16 atom?
2 extra neutrons
What is the fraction for the nucleus?
The answer will depend on what nucleus the question refers to. The nucleus of a cell is quite different from a nucleus of an atom. which differs from the nucleus of an organisation.
What is a simple explanation of an atom?
An atom is composed from:- a nucleus containing protons and neutrons- around the nucleus are the electrons on different energy levels
What is the center of an atom called?
The center of an atom is called a nucleus (nucleifor plural).Center of an atom is called the "Nucleus".
What is the dense center of the atom called?
the denser part of an atom is the nucleus. about 99% of the mass of an atom is concentrated within the atom.
How an atom of C-13 is different from an atom of C-12?
In number of neutrons and mass of nucleus.
