1. Write isotopic symbols of the form A X for each isotope below.
Z
-
The oxygen isotope with 8 neutrons.
Do I add the atomic number of oxygen which is 8 and add the 8 neutrons and get 16?
ok, now how do I write this

Hey Lousiana1.
This isn't quite a chemistry forum, but google is your friend:
Isotope Notation
Yes that's correct..Quote:

So Z is 8
and A is 16
A will be on the top left corner and Z on the bottom left corner...
