Although there are different isotopes of oxygen (like O-16, O-17, and O-18), they have the same chemical properties. This means that whichever isotope you breathe will still be used in cellular respiration in the same way by your body. So, it doesn't matter which isotope of oxygen you breathe because they all serve the same essential purpose in supporting your body's functioning.

Is the oxygen you breath matter?
YES!!! Everything is 'matter'. It is a collective noun for anything that can be touched.
What describes an isotope of the commonly occuring oxygen atom which has 8 electrons 8 protons and 8 neutrons?
what is an isotope? An isotope is a different form of an element's atom that does not change the identity of the atom. I believe that the isotope would be Oxygen-16 due to the atomic mass of such an atom.
Is oxygen 15 stable?
No, oxygen-15 is a radioactive isotope of oxygen with a half-life of about 2 minutes. It undergoes positron decay to form nitrogen-15.
What do you breath in?
You breathe in oxygen, which is essential for your body to function properly. Oxygen is taken in through your lungs and is then transported by your blood to various parts of your body to provide energy for your cells.
What isotope has 16 protons and 17 neutrons?
The isotope with 16 protons and 17 neutrons is oxygen-33.
Why does it matter which isotope of oxygen you breath?
Because some isotopes of Oxygen are toxic (ozone for example) !
What is the atomic number in oxygen-18?
All atoms of oxygen contain 8 protons. It doesn't matter which isotope you have.
What is the state of matter that oxygen is called?
Gas...is this homework?? WOW...U STUPID WE BREATH IT!!
What do you call an oxygen atom with more than 8 neutrons?
it would be an isotope of oxygen, it is pretty uncommen to have an isotope of oxygen other than oxygen-8 but the most commen isotope after that is oxygen-9 (oxygen with 9 neutrons).
Is the oxygen you breath matter?
YES!!! Everything is 'matter'. It is a collective noun for anything that can be touched.
How many neutron are in an oxygen?
The simple answer is 8 neutrons. But this depends on which oxygen isotope you are talking about. Oxygen-16, the most abundant oxygen isotope, has 8 neutrons.
Do animals inhale carbon dioxide or oxygen?
Nope -- they do just exactly the opposite: inhale and use oxygen, and exhale more carbon dioxide, just as all mammals do. This was an old wive's tale that's been around for years, that goes on to say cats can suck away a baby's breath -- which has no basis in fact whatsoever.
Where does oxygen burn in humaans?
it doesnt burn in us. what happens is when we breath is in, it circulates through out our intier body and when we ex-hale its called corbon dioxide
How do praying mantis obtain oxygen?
breath in breath out breath in breath out
Is ozone the isotope of oxygen?

What form of oxygen is radioactive oxygen-15 or oxygen-16?
The isotope oxygen-15 is radioactive.
