Answer:

They all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Elements will always have the same number of protons no matter the isotopes. Isotopes only change the number of neutrons. Silicon will always have 14 protons. So silicon-28 has 14 protons and 14 neutrons. Silicon-29 has 14 protons and 15 neutrons. Silicon-30 has 14 protons and 16 neutrons.
