Oxygen-17 and oxygen-18 are isotopes of oxygen, which are different atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Both of them have 8 protons in their nucleus and 8 electrons but oxygen-17 has 9 neutrons which oxygen-18 has 10 neutrons.

What is the mass of oxygen-18?
As the name would suggest, the mass of Oxygen-18 is 18.
What is the difference between oxygen-17 and oxygen-18?
first of all all materials on the earth are made of matter. matter is made of atoms. the difference between these two oxogens is that oxygen has a different amount of nuetrons in the cell's nucleus. this makes the two ogygens different. the 17 and 18 are the mass number of the two substances. that means that each cell has a specific number of nuetrons. the number of protons are always the same if the substance is the same. in this case they do have the same number of protons and electrons( substances always have the same number of electrons and protons) but they have different nuetrons. sorry for the long lecture but i felt a need to share my knolege sincerly professor Williams
How is the nucleus of oxygen-18 atom different to the nucleus of oxygen-16 atom?
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.
What are groups 17 and 18 on the periodic table called?
Group 17 elements (Gr. 17 are not metals.) are called halogens (halogen group).
Does an atom of chlorine have 17 protons and 18 neutrons?
Yes, the main isotope of chlorine has 17 protons and 18 neutrons.
Is oxygen 17 and oxygen 18 the same isotopes of oxygen?
they are different isotopes of oxygen, oxygen-17 has one more neutron than oxygen-16 making it slightly heavier. Oxygen-17 will react slightly slower than oxygen-16 since it has more mass.
What is true about oxygen-17. And oxygen-18?
They Are Isotopes of oxygen!
What is true about oxygen 17 and 18?
They are both Oxygen.
Is bad for a 17 year old to have an relationship with an 26 year old?
Age of consent is 18. So it is illegal to have a relationship between a 17 year old and a 26 year old.
What is the Colorado law pertaining to a relationship between an 17 yr old and 27 yr old?
it is illegal until you are 18.
What do oxygen-17 and oxygen-18 have in common?
All oxygen atoms have 8 protons, regardless of the isotope.
Is it illegal for a 17 and 18-year-old to be in a relationship?
no. not that im aware of.
What is Colorado law pertaining to a relationship between a 17-year-old and a 26 year-old?
No sex until both parties are over 18.
What is different about oxygen-17 and oxygen-18?
These are both isotopes of oxygen, meaning that they have different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons.
What pair of numbers does 18 fall between?
18 falls between 17 and 19.
What is the mass number of the elementoxygen?
It depends on the isotope of oxygen. There are three isotopes of oxygen with mass numbers of 16, 17, and 18.
Do Oxygen-17 and oxygen-18 have different number of protons?
No, 17O and 18O have differing numbers of neutrons, which make them isotopes of oxygen, along with 16O.
