re: #682 The Yankee

I think this is the best answer to my question I knew that the protons determine what element the atom was. Didn’t realized thou that basically all real world atoms were Isotope. Always thought there were a few that had an equal number of protons to neutrons.

Well, Helium-3 is, in my understanding, pretty stable (Although also extremely rare) despite having 2 protons and 1 neutron.

Many of the lower numbered elements have stable isotopes (And sometimes the most common isotope) with an equal number of protons and neutrons.
