Solve let's ponder both the q don't give copy paste nothing is similar
Dear student,
a) Subscripts are atomic numbers(Number of protons in an element)
Superscripts are mass numbers(Number of protons+neutrons in an element)
∎ Factor responsible for the change is number of neutrons
∎ Such atoms are called isotopes because they have same number of protons but different no. of neutrons.
∎ No. of protons= 8
No. of neutrons= 18-8= 10
Regards
