Are isotopes atoms of the same element or different elements.
Do isotopes have the same atomic number or the same mass number.
If an isotope of 'H' has mass no. = 2, how many electrons does it have.
If an isotope of 'H' has mass no. = 3, how many neutrons does it have.
Which sub-atomic particles in the 3 isotopes of 'H' are the same.

Answer
Isotopes are atoms of the same element.
Isotopes have same atomic number.
Number of electrons in an isotope of 'H' having mass no. = 2 is 1 as its atomic number is 1.
Number of neutrons in an isotope of 'H' having mass no. [A] = 3 is 2, because, atomic number [Z] is 1 so number of protons = number of electrons = 1 and number of neutrons [n] = A - Z = 3 - 1 = 2.
Number of electrons and protons are same in the 3 isotopes of 'H' as atomic number is the same.
