oxygen - 24

The correct name of this isotope : Oxygen - 16

Given

Isotope : ₈¹⁶O

Required

The correct name

Solution

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes  

Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)  

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes  

In the following element notation,

X = symbol of elemental atom

A = mass number

Z = atomic number

The isotope name is usually followed by its mass number, so the symbol above can be expressed as oxygen - 16

answer: cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create atp, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. usually, this process uses oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration. it has four stages known as glycolysis, link reaction, the krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
