Identify the isotopic pair(s) out of the following species?

8C16, 6C14, 7N14, 8O18, 7N16

The isotopic pairs out of the following 8C16, 6C14, 7N14, 8O18, 7N16 are:

8C16 and 8O18 also 7N14 and 7N16. These are the only pairs in the given elements which are isotopic.


Isotopes have the same number of proton and different number of neutrons, in all the pairs the protons are the same but the atomic masses are different.
