L'autre isotope est l'hélium-3 (3He) qui ne comprend qu'un seul neutron et deux protons, de sorte que l'atome d'hélium-3 (3)He est un fermion. L'hélium-3 est très rare (un atome sur un million) et s'obtient en pratique de la désintégration du tritium, isotope instable de l'hydrogène utilisé principalement dans les [...] armes nucléaires. 4, record 1, French, - h%C3%A9lium%203

[...] dos clases de átomos de helio:3He y4He, que se distinguen por la naturaleza de sus núcleos. El núcleo de3He contiene dos protones y un neutrón; el de4He, dos protones y dos neutrones. Ambos núcleos poseen, pues, el mismo número de protones, lo que indica que presentarán la misma carga eléctrica. 1, record 1, Spanish, - 3He
