Oxygen-16 has 8 protons (because it's oxygen) and 8 neutrons (because it's the same number and 16-8=8.) That's by far the most common isotope of oxygen, since oxygen's Atomic Mass on the Periodic Table is 15.999.

What is the mass number of an oxygen isotope that has nine neutrons?

The mass number of an isotope is the sum of its protons and neutrons. For oxygen, which has 8 protons, an isotope with nine neutrons would have a mass number of 8 (protons) + 9 (neutrons) = 17. Therefore, the mass number of this oxygen isotope is 17. This isotope is known as oxygen-17.

Is 112Cd an isotope?

Yes 112Cd is an isotope of cadmium, called cadmium-112, which contains 48 protons and 64 neutrons. Cadmium-112 has a mass number of 112, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atomic nuclei of the atoms of this isotope.


What is the mass number of an oxygen isotope that has 9 neutrons?

The mass number of an isotope is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, meaning it has 8 protons. If the isotope has 9 neutrons, the mass number would be 8 protons + 9 neutrons = 17. Therefore, the mass number of this oxygen isotope is 17.
