There is no set number of protons in an isotope. The definition of an isotope is an atom that has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Therefore, the answer to the question is; the number of protons in an isotope remain the same.
To know the number of protons, look at the Periodic Table. The Atomic Number is the number of protons. Don't confuse that with Atomic Mass - To confirm, the Atomic Numbers for Hydrogen and Helium are 1 and 2.

How does the atomic number relate to the number of protons in an atom?
Atomic Mass (of an isotope) - number of protons (of an isotope) = number of neutrons (of an isotope)
How many neutrons and protons does neutral atom of sodium with an atomic mass number of 23 have?
Every sodium atom has 11 protons, the atomic number of sodium. The isotope with mass number 23 has (23 - 11) or 12 neutrons, because the mass number of an isotope is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the isotope.
How many neutrons and protons does a neutral atom of sodium with an atomic mass number of 23 have?
Every sodium atom has 11 protons, the atomic number of sodium. The isotope with mass number 23 has (23 - 11) or 12 neutrons, because the mass number of an isotope is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the isotope.
What isotope has 20 protons and 22 neutrons?
The number on the periodic table is the number of protons it contains. The isotope number is the sum of the protons and neutrons.Therefore, the isotope with 20 protons and 22 neutrons is Calcium-42.
How many protons are in the nucleus of the isotope H-2?
Every atom, ion, and isotope of the same element will have the same number of protons. Hydrogen has one proton.
What is the total number of protons in the nucleus of a potassium 42 isotope?
The atomic number of potassium is 19. This means that there are 19 protons in every potassium atom, regardless of isotope.
An isotope of nitrogen could have more protons neutron electrons?
An isotope of nitrogen will always have 7 protons, as this defines the element. However, it can have a different number of neutrons, thus changing the mass number of the isotope. The number of electrons in an isotope is equal to the number of protons to maintain overall charge neutrality.
An isotope of chlorine has 25 protons and 17 neutrons what is the mass number of that isotope of chlorine?
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of its protons and neutrons. In this case, the isotope of chlorine has 25 protons and 17 neutrons. Therefore, the mass number is 25 + 17 = 42. Thus, the mass number of this isotope of chlorine is 42.
What is the mass number of an oxygen isotope that has nine neutrons?
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of its protons and neutrons. For oxygen, which has 8 protons, an isotope with nine neutrons would have a mass number of 8 (protons) + 9 (neutrons) = 17. Therefore, the mass number of this oxygen isotope is 17. This isotope is known as oxygen-17.
What is the isotope for mass number 54 and contains 24 protons?
Any isotope with 24 protons is chromium; therefore, the requested isotope is 54Cr.
An isotope of radon has 86 protons and 137 neutrons what is the mass number of this isotopes?
An isotope of indium has 77 protons and 115 neutrons. What is the mass number of this isotope
What is an isotope?
An isotope is an element with the same number of electrons and protons different number of neutrons.
