The three Isotopes of Hydrogen are :
Protium, duterium and Tritium.
H₁¹ ,H₁² ,H³₁
As we know that isotopes are the atoms of same elements have same atomic number but different mass numbers due to difference in neutrons.
As the atomic number is same, we have same number of protons and electrons and electronic configuration will be same. Which implies that the valence electrons are same and the valency will be same.
As, a result they have same chemical properties and different physical properties .
