Because some isotopes of Oxygen are toxic (ozone for example) !
Gas...is this homework?? WOW...U STUPID WE BREATH IT!!
it would be an isotope of oxygen, it is pretty uncommen to have an isotope of oxygen other than oxygen-8 but the most commen isotope after that is oxygen-9 (oxygen with 9 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.
The isotope oxygen-15 is radioactive.
The element with atomic number eight is oxygen, and anyatom of oxygen is an isotope. Let's see how that works.The word isotope speaks to the number of neutrons in a given atom of a given element. When we speak of oxygen, we might consider any of its isotopes, but all atoms of this element have eight protons in their nucleus. They're all oxygen, and all have atomic number eight. Oxygen has three stable isotopes, and they are O-16, O-17 and O-18. All atoms of these isotopes have eight protons in them, but they have eight, nine and ten neutrons in their nuclei, respectively.
Although there are different isotopes of oxygen (like O-16, O-17, and O-18), they have the same chemical properties. This means that whichever isotope you breathe will still be used in cellular respiration in the same way by your body. So, it doesn't matter which isotope of oxygen you breathe because they all serve the same essential purpose in supporting your body's functioning.
All atoms of oxygen contain 8 protons. It doesn't matter which isotope you have.

YES!!! Everything is 'matter'. It is a collective noun for anything that can be touched.
The simple answer is 8 neutrons. But this depends on which oxygen isotope you are talking about. Oxygen-16, the most abundant oxygen isotope, has 8 neutrons.
what is an isotope? An isotope is a different form of an element's atom that does not change the identity of the atom. I believe that the isotope would be Oxygen-16 due to the atomic mass of such an atom.
breath in breath out breath in breath out
Yes.
The isotope oxygen-15 is radioactive.
animals usually depend on plants for oxygen. we breath out carbon dioxide and breath oxygen in, same with animals. and plants breath that carbon dioxide in and and breath out oxygen.
