The fundamental particle responsible for isotopes is the neutron. As such, different isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number (since the protons never change), but have a different atomic weight/mass dependent on the differing number of neutrons in the atom's nucleus.
For instance, the element carbon has 6 protons (a different number of protons would yield a different element); therefore, carbon has an atomic number of 6. However, there are 15 known isotopes of carbon that all have a different number of neutrons and thus a different atomic weight. Of those 15 isotopes, only three occur naturally, so let's use these in the example. These three naturally-occurring isotopes are carbon 12, carbon 13 and carbon 14 (the numbers represent the isotope's atomic weight). These isotopes have 6, 7 and 8 neutrons, respectively, paired with the 6 protons in the nucleus.
protons: 6

neutrons: 6

Carbon 12 (6 + 6 = 12)
protons: 6

Carbon 13 (6 + 7 = 13)
protons: 6

neutrons: 8

Carbon 14 (6 + 8 = 14)
It is meson. Hideki Yukawa named it mesotron which was later corrected to meson. Muon was the first particle that had the predicted mass of a meson. It was discovered by Carl David Anderson. It was later conclude that it was not the right particle.
neutrons
The isotope formed when tritium (3H) emits a beta particle is helium-3 (3He). This process occurs when a neutron in the tritium nucleus converts to a proton, releasing a beta particle (electron) and an electron antineutrino.
The fundamental paticles are Quarks , they are of 6 types.
This particle is the electron.

The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
A fundamental particle (elementary particle) is one that is not made up of other particles. An electron is a good example of a fundamental particle. On the other hand, protons and neutrons are not fundamental particles. They are made up of fundamental particles called quarks (two up and one down for the proton, and two down and one up for the neutron).Assuming electron as fundamental particle,what is it's primary ,in order to sense it's environment?
Yes, the alpha particle is nonfundamental.
An Alpha particle
Electron is fundamental particle because hi isnt made up of smaller particles like proton.
It is meson. Hideki Yukawa named it mesotron which was later corrected to meson. Muon was the first particle that had the predicted mass of a meson. It was discovered by Carl David Anderson. It was later conclude that it was not the right particle.
No, the selectron is a theoretical supersymmetric partner of the electron. It has not been observed in experiments and is not considered a fundamental particle of the Standard Model of particle physics.
neutrons
These are atoms of an isotope.
