Question
Consider the following atoms: 16O, 18O, 18F, and 18Ne. Which are isotopes? 18O, 18F, and 18Ne 16O, 18F, and 18Ne 18F, and 18Ne 16O and 18O
Solution
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. In this case, 16O and 18O are isotopes because they are both oxygen atoms but have different numbers of neutrons. 18F and 18Ne are not isotopes with 16O and 18O because they are different elements (Fluorine and Neon, respectively). So, the correct answer is 16O and 18O.
