Isotope- variation of an element
Sixteen- atomic number of oxygen
Amphiprotic compounds are able to both donate and accept a proton.
Amphiprotic compounds contain a hydrogen atom and lone pair of valence electron.
For example, HSO₃⁻ (hydrogen sulfate ion) is an amphiprotic compound.
Balanced chemical equation for reaction when HSO₃⁻ donate protons to water:
HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ SO₄²⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq).
Ka = [SO₄²⁻] · [H₃O⁺] / [HSO₃⁻]
Balanced chemical equation for reaction when HSO₃⁻ accepts protons from water:
HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₂SO₄(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
Kb = [H₂SO₄] · [OH⁻] / [HSO₃⁻]
Water (H₂O), amino acids, hydrogen carbonate ions (HCO₃⁻) are examples of amphiprotic species.
Another example, water is an amphiprotic substance:
H₂O + HCl → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻
H₂O + NH₃ → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻

Answer:
element
Explanation:
we know that helium is a pure substance although helium atoms are sometimes mixed with their isotopes it is still the same element. since there is no other element combined with helium this makes it an element.
