Question

How does the overall charge of oxygen-16
compare to the overall charge of oxygen-17 and oxygen-18? Use the
models of isotopes to help explain your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

there's a difference in neutrons in the neutron count

Explanation:

look at the diagram

Answer 2

The overall charge in both the isotopes is the same that is 0.

Explanation:

• Isotopes are the atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and electrons but with different numbers of neutrons.

In the isotope oxygen-17:

• There are 8 protons
• There are 9 neutrons
• There 8 electrons

• Overall charge on the oxygen-17:

     $=+8+(-8)=0$

In the isotope oxygen-18:

• There are 8 protons
• There are 10 neutrons
• There 8 electrons

• Overall charge on the oxygen-18:

       $=+8+(-8)=0$

The only difference in the given two isotopes is of number of neutrons

So from this, we concluded that the overall charge in both the isotopes is the same that is 0.
