What will be the differents in the mass number the number is halved and the number of electrons is doubled in `_(8)O^(16)`?

Options

A. `25%` decreases
B. `90 %` increases
C. `150 %` increases
D. No difference

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the information given and apply the relevant concepts of atomic structure.

### Step 1: Identify the initial values
The atomic symbol given is \(_{8}^{16}O\). Here:
- The atomic number (Z) is 8, which represents the number of protons and also the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
- The mass number (A) is 16, which is the sum of protons and neutrons.

### Step 2: Calculate the number of neutrons
