The most common isotope of oxygen has atomic number 8 and atomic weight 16. Another isotope has two extra neutrons. What are the atomic number and atomic weight of this isotope?

What will be an ideal response?


The atomic number would still be 8 because the number of protons wouldn't change, but the atomic weight would increase to 18.
