Answer 2

The following correctly compares the oxygen isotopes 160 and 180: 1160 has 8 neutrons, whereas 180 has 10 neutrons. The correct option is D.

What are isotopes?

Isotopes are atoms of the same family that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Oxygen has three isotopes 16O, 17O, 18O).

The number of neutrons in 160 is 8 and 180 has 10 neutrons. They can be distinguished by the number of neutrons.

Thus, the correct option is D. 160 has 8 neutrons, whereas 180 has 10 neutrons.
