There are three known stable isotopes of oxygen (8O): 16
O
, 17
O
, and 18
O
.

Radioactive isotopes ranging from 11
O
to 28
O
have also been characterized, all short-lived. The longest-lived radioisotope is 15
O
with a half-life of 122.266(43) s, while the shortest-lived isotope is the unbound 11
O
with a half-life of 198(12) yoctoseconds, though half-lives have not been measured for the unbound heavy isotopes 27
O
and 28
O
