Determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a neutral atom of the isotope oxygen-17. explain how you arrived at your answer.

8 protons because that's the atomic number
8 electrons to balance the positive charge of the protons
9 neutrons because 8+9 equals 17 and you add the protons and neutrons to get the atomic mass of an isotope

Tropical easterlies is mostly likely your answer correct me if i’m wrong
