The atomic number of oxygen is 8. So it has 8 protons. And O-18 isotope has 10 neutrons.
P-33
Radioactive isotopes with insufficient protons typically refer to those isotopes that are unstable due to an imbalance in their neutron-to-proton ratio. For instance, isotopes like carbon-8 or sodium-18 have too few protons relative to their neutron count, leading to instability and radioactivity. Such isotopes undergo radioactive decay to achieve a more stable configuration, often through beta decay or other processes.
26 protons
This statement is incorrect. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in their number of neutrons. Rubidium, specifically, has two stable isotopes: Rb-85 and Rb-87, which both have 37 protons but different numbers of neutrons.
By the numbers of protons
Number of Protons = Number of electrons = 17.The number of neutrons depends on the isotope. Cl-35 and Cl-37 isotopes have 18 and 20 isotopes respectively.

No, oxygen-17 and oxygen-18 are different isotopes of oxygen. They differ in the number of neutrons each atom contains. Oxygen-17 has 8 protons and 9 neutrons while oxygen-18 has 8 protons and 10 neutrons.
26 protons
Oxigen has 8 protons; natural isotopes have 8, 9 an 10 neutrons.
Not; the number of protons in isotopes is identical; only the number of neutrons is different.
The answer you are looking for is "isotopes" HOWEVER, please note you CAN NOT HAVE 2 elements with the same number of PROTONS. This is because the number of protons DEFINES an element. Isotopes are the SAME element but with differing numbers of neutrons.
Isotopes differ by the number of protons.

These are both isotopes of oxygen, meaning that they have different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons.
