isotopes are just the same oxygen atom with a different number of protons
It is an oxygen atom with 8, 9 or 10 neutrons.

Oxigen has 8 protons; natural isotopes have 8, 9 an 10 neutrons.
it is used in soil
oxygen isotopes.
1. Oxygen is made from...oxygen atoms. 2. Oxygen is a diatomic molecule. 3. Natural oxygen has three isotopes (types of atoms): 16O, 17O, 18O.
Oxygen-16 IS an isotope of oxygen. If you meant to ask the number of isotopes of oxygen, the answer is 3. They are Oxygen-16, -17 and -18. Oxygen-16 is the most abundant of the isotopes.
They Are Isotopes of oxygen!
Oxygen consists of three stable isotopes: 16O, 17O, and 18O
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.
Some oxygen isotopes are radioactive, but they do not occur naturally.
Natural oxygen isotopes are: O-16, O-17, O-18.
It sure can; basically, each element has radioactive isotopes. Check the Wikipedia article "isotopes of oxygen" for more details.
Electon
Because some isotopes of Oxygen are toxic (ozone for example) !

=Unlike stable isotopes such as Carbon- 12 or oxygen- 1, radioisotopes spontaneously change into other isotopes over time.=
