    The number of neutrons are different.

    Explanation: -

    In 17O

    The mass number is 17

    The atomic number for oxygen = 8

    Number of neutrons of 17O = Mass number of 17O - atomic number

    = 17-8

    =9

    In 16O

    The mass number is 16

    Number of neutrons of 16O = Mass number of 16O - atomic number

    = 16-8

    =8

    The mass number is 18

    The atomic number for oxygen = 8

    Number of neutrons of 18O = Mass number of 18O - atomic number

    = 18-8

    =10

    As we can see the number of neutrons are different in each case.
