Solution

The Isotope is a form of a chemical element that have the same number of protons in the nucleus or has the same atomic number but a different number of neutrons in the nucleus or mass number are called isotopes.
Example- Protium ( $H_{1}^{1}$ ) , Deuterium ( $H_{1}^{2}$ ), Tritium( $H_{1}^{3}$ )
