How many protons are in Oxygen-18 and how many neutrons are in Copper-65? Please include steps for solving both!

There are 8 protons in oxygen-18 and 36 neutrons in copper-65.

Explanation:

An atom contains three sub-atomic particles, that is, protons, neutrons and electrons.

The atomic number is the total number of protons present in an atom. For oxygen-18, the atomic mass is 18.

Atomic mass is the sum of total number of protons and electrons present in an atom. As the atomic number of an oxygen atom is 8 so the number of protons present in oxygen-18 is 8.

The atomic mass of copper is 65 and for a copper atom, the atomic number is 29. Hence, the number of neutrons for copper-65 is as follows.

Atomic mass = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

65 = 29 + no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons = 65 - 29 = 36

Thus, we can conclude that there are 8 protons in oxygen-18 and 36 neutrons in copper-65.

2h2o2--> 2h2o + o2

this reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen.

add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

this may not be entirely correct but let me know.
