    The Atomic Number and Atomic Mass of ¹⁷O are 8 and 17 respectively.

    Atomic Number:

    Atomic Number of Element is the Number of Protons contained by the Element. So, there are 8 Protons in ¹⁷O.

    Atomic Mass:

    Atomic Mass of Element is the total number of Protons and Neutrons present in the Nucleus of that element.

    So,

    Atomic Mass = # of Protons + # of Neutrons

    As the Atomic mass of ¹⁷O is 17 and it has 8 protons, So # of Neutrons are calculated as,

    # of Neutrons = Atomic Mass - # of Protons

    # of Neutrons = 17 - 8

    # of Neutrons = 9

    And,

    As there is no charge on ¹⁷O, so the number of Electrons and Protons are equal. i. e.

    # of Electrons = 8

    Result:

    In ¹⁷O Number of Neutrons are 9, Number of Protons are 8 and Number of Electrons are 8.
