How many stable isotopes does oxygen have-?

Oxygen consists of three stable isotopes: 16O, 17O, and 18O


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.
