Answer:
Isotopes are species having the same atomic number but different atomic masses which is due to difference in the number of neutrons present in their nucleus.
And yeah, isotopes must have the same number of protons.
So considering Hydrogen its isotopes would be 1H1(protium) , 1H2(deuterium) 1H3(tritium)
And as for 3/2He and 3/1H they would be called isobars(same mass different atomic number) instead of isotopes.
