What is the difference between an oxygen 16 atom and an oxygen 18 atom?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
In the nucleus of an oxygen-18 atom there are 10 neutrons while in the nucleus of an oxygen-16 atom there are only 8 neutrons. The number of electrons and protons always stay the same.

How many electrons are in an oxygen molecule?
There are 16 electrons in an oxygen molecule as each oxygen atom has 8 electrons.
Is the mass of a hydrogen atom different from the mass of an oxygen atom?
all atoms have different masses Mass of an atom is due to protons and neutrons present in an atom and number of proton is something that distinguish between atoms, therefore mass of hydrogen is different to the mass number of oxygen, hydrogen's mass is 1 as it has only 1 proton and no neutrons, and oxygen mass's is 16 as it has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
Oxygen 16 protons?
No. Oxygen has 8 protons. The element with 16 protons is sulfur. Oxygen-16 is the most common isotope of oxygen. The 16 refers to its atomic weight, which is the result of there being 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
What percentage of oxygen do human need?
About 16-17% percent I think
What is the total mass of oxygen 1.00 mole of AI2CrO43?
In this molecule, there are 4 oxygen atoms, so 1 mole of this substance would have 4 moles of oxygen atoms. Each oxygen atom is 16 g/mole, so 64 grams.
What is the difference between atoms oxygen 16 and oxygen 17?
The difference is the amount of neutrons in the atom Oxygen 16 has 8 oxygen 17 has 9 neutrons
What is the difference is between oxygen-16 and oxygen-17?
one neutron '
An oxygen atom has?
an oxygen atom has 16 electrons, 2 shells and 4 neutrons and 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 difference between oxygen and sulphur?
Oxygen is a gas, sulphur is a solid. Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons, sulphur has 16 of each.
Which is the appropriate atomic mass of an atom with 16 neutrons?
oxygen
Does oxygen-16 atom has the same number of protons as oxygen-17 atom?
yes, O-17 has an extra neutron
How many protons are in an oxygen-16 nucleus?
The atomic number of oxygen is 8, which means that there are 8 protons in the nucleus of an oxygen atom. Mass number = protons + neutrons, therefore neutrons = mass number - protons = 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons.
What is the difference between 16oxygen and 18Oxygen?
It simply means that the 18 oxygen has two more oxygen molecules than the 16 oxygen. A simpler way: 16 x O = O16 and so on..
Is the mass of a hydrogen atom 16 times greater than an oxygen atom?
No, it is inverse.
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.
How many nuetrons are in 16 oxygen?
there are 8 neutrons in every oxygen atom so times it by 16 is actually 128
