Selenium (Se) has six naturally occurring isotopes, five of which are stable: 74Se, 76Se, 77Se, 78Se, and 80Se. The last three also occur as fission products, along with 79Se which has a half-life of 327,000 years, and 82Se which has a very long half-life (~1020 yr, decaying via double beta decay to 82Kr) and for practical purposes can be considered to be stable. 23 other unstable isotopes have been characterized, the longest-lived being 79Se with a half-life 327,000 years, 75Se with a half-life of 120 days, and 72Se with a half-life of 8.40 days. All other isotopes have half-lives less than 8 hours, most less than 38 seconds, which of these, 73Se is the most stable, with a half-life of 7.15 hours.

Twenty-three other unstable isotopes have been characterized
Selenium is generally considered stable in its elemental form. However, some of its isotopes are unstable and undergo radioactive decay.
Selenium a non metal hexagonal grey element has 34 protons and electrons. The atomic structure of Selenium has 45 neutrons.

You need to specify not just the element, but the specific isotope. Like most elements, selenium comes in several varieties, which in this case are called isotopes.

Selenium is an atomic element with 34 electrons and 34 protons. Stable versions (isotopes) have from 42 to 44 neutrons. It is necessary in very small amounts to support life, otherwise it is poisonous. Selenium at one time was the main source for transistors and diodes because of its semiconductor properties.
There are stable isotopes of four elements with 48 neutrons: selenium-82, krypton-84, rubidium-85, and strontium-86.
Uranium deposits may contain infinitesimal amounts of technetium isotopes.
Different allotropes of Selenium have different colors. They can be Black, Grey, Red or Purplish.
