Explanation:
Each isotope of hydrogen is made up of only one proton, but these isotopes differ in the number of neutrons the atoms contain. The extra neutrons make the isotopes heavier: deuterium is twice as heavy as ordinary hydrogen (sometimes called protium), while tritium is three times as heavy.

EXPLANATION
Isotope
Isotope is defined as the variants of chemical element that posses the same number of protons and electrons, but a different number of neutrons.
Example of isotope
carbon 12 - carbon 13..U-235, U-238 and U-239.
- Each isotope of hydrogen is made up of only one proton, but these isotopes differ in the number of neutrons the atoms contains.
- The extra neutron make the isotopes heavier: deuterium is twice as heavy as ordinary hydrogen(sometimes called protium),while tritium is three times as heavy.
- Hydrogen has no neutron, deuterium has one, and tritium has two neutrons.
- The isotopes of hydrogen have, respectively ,mass number of one, two, and three. Atoms of these isotopes have one electron to balance the charge of the one proton.
