Helium (He) and hydrogen (H) are NOT considered as isotopes as they have different atomic numbers (two and one respectively). The identity of an element is determine by the atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus. Isotopes are atoms of the same element (and so the same number of protons) that have a different number of neutrons.See the Related Questions links for more information.
