We compare helium isotopes, primarily helium-3 and helium-4, to study differences in nuclear properties and their implications for various scientific fields. Helium-3, a rare isotope, is of interest in cryogenics and potential fusion energy applications, while helium-4 is the most abundant and has significant roles in cosmology and astrophysics. Understanding these isotopes helps researchers explore fundamental questions about the universe, nuclear reactions, and the behavior of matter at extremely low temperatures. Additionally, their differing behaviors in various physical processes provide insights into quantum mechanics and particle physics.
Helium 3 and helium 4 are naturally occurring isotopes 5 thru 10 are exotic isotopes.
For the most part Helium has two neutrons, the exception is with isotopes.
Helium has two natural isotopes and is an inert noble gas.
In the sun's nuclear reactions, hydrogen isotopes combine to form helium-4. Specifically, two hydrogen-1 isotopes combine through a process called nuclear fusion to create a helium-4 atom, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays and neutrinos.
In total nine different isotopes of helium are known to exist. Helium 3 (one neutron) and helium 4 (two neutrons, by far the most common isotope) are the only stable isotopes. The other 7 isotopes (helium 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) are unstable and rapidly decay into stable isotopes.

Yes, they are isotopes of helium
"Type" is ambiguous in this context. Do you mean isotopes? Or do you mean states of matter? (Helium has some exotic states of matter.)Wikipedia states that there are 8 helium isotopes, to of them (3-He and 4-He) stable."Type" is ambiguous in this context. Do you mean isotopes?

isotopes of helium, with helium-4 being the more common isotope found in nature. Helium-4 has two protons and two neutrons in its nucleus, while helium-3 has two protons and one neutron. Both isotopes have important applications in various fields, including cryogenics and nuclear research.
