Electron configuration is related to the number of protons in the nucleus, hence, the element. In theory, all isotopes of a certain element should have the same electron configuration.
What u were asking for is an electron configuration for oxygen anion, it has the same electron configuration as Neon
electron configuartion of O^2- = [Ne] (Neon core) = 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6

Isotopes just vary in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Electronic configuration has nothing to do with that.

It will remain same. An isotope is just the same element with same atomic number but different mass number. So, electronic confrigation is:
K L
2,6

Here the oxygen has gained two electrons so it should be
1s2 2s2 2p6
The 16 is the mass number(the number of protons and neutrons)
And the 8 is the number of protons

Just add or remove electrons

Could you tell me what an isotope is, so I can answer your question? LOL!!!
