The nuclides (^{16}{8}\text{O}) and (^{15}{8}\text{O}) differ in their Atomic Mass and neutron count. (^{16}{8}\text{O}) has 8 protons and 8 neutrons, while (^{15}{8}\text{O}) has 8 protons and 7 neutrons. This difference in neutron number results in (^{16}{8}\text{O}) being stable, while (^{15}{8}\text{O}) is a radioactive isotope with a shorter half-life. Consequently, their physical and nuclear properties also vary due to this difference in stability.
