Answer:

Protons and electrons would stay the same, neutrons do not

Step-by-step explanation:

You can't change the number of protons without changing its element. Isotopes are variations of an atom with different numbers of neutrons, so they must be different. It doesn't say that it's also an ion, so electrons probably stay the same.
