The natural isotope 4He has 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
The natural isotope 3He has 2 protons and 1 neutron.
Helium-3 has 1 neutron and 2 electrons. Helium-4 has 2 neutrons and 2 electrons.
A helium atom typically has two neutrons. This gives helium a total of four particles in its nucleus (two protons and two neutrons), which contributes to its atomic mass of approximately 4 atomic mass units.
Helium 3 and helium 4 are naturally occurring isotopes 5 thru 10 are exotic isotopes.
When tritium-3 emits a beta particle, it becomes helium-3. The beta particle is an electron, so when it is emitted, a neutron in the tritium nucleus is converted into a proton, resulting in helium-3, which has two protons and one neutron.

An isotope of helium will be formed.
A neutron is a subatomic particle which is the same for all elements. The neutron for Xenon is the same as the neutron in Helium (4He) or in Ununoctium (294Uuo).
1 neutron It has in its nucleus 1 neutron and 2 protons so its mass number is 3, hence whay it is called helium-3. (Mass number = # of protons + # of neutrons)
Helium has 2 protons, 2 neutrons and 2 electrons. The symbol for helium is He and the atomic number is 2.
Neutrons have no charge, so in a helium atom, the neutron would also have no charge. Helium typically has two protons (+1 charge each) and two neutrons (no charge), resulting in a neutral overall charge.
Helium-3 has 1 neutron and 2 electrons. Helium-4 has 2 neutrons and 2 electrons.
A helium atom typically has two neutrons. This gives helium a total of four particles in its nucleus (two protons and two neutrons), which contributes to its atomic mass of approximately 4 atomic mass units.
Each nucleus of helium-3 contains one neutron.
This isotope of helium is helium-3; the atomic number of helium is 2.
Helium 3 and helium 4 are naturally occurring isotopes 5 thru 10 are exotic isotopes.
The isotope helium-3 contain 2 protons and 1 neutron. The isotope helium-4 contain 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
