Which statement is true about oxygen-17 and oxygen-18? A Their atoms have identical masses B They do not have the same number of protons C They have different numbers of electrons D They are isotopes of oxygen

Answer :

Answer:

option d

Explanation:

isotope means atoms with different mass no. 17 and 18 written on the left represent mass number

this is because atoms can differ in mass no.

  • option a is incorrect as they have different mass no,hence,different mass
  • option b is incorrect as atoms-oxygen-17 and oxygen 18-of same element    oxygen cannot differ in no of protons
  • if they had different no of electons they would have a charge like -1,-2,etc
  • option d is correct,because atoms can differ in mass no.   isotope means atoms with different mass no. 17 and 18 written on the left represent mass number
