"A red giant is a star that has exhausted the primary supply of hydrogen fuel at its core. An average-sized star like our Sun will spend the final 10 percent of its life as a red giant. In this phase, a star's surface temperature drops to between 3,140 and 6,741°F (1,727 and 3,727°C) and its diameter expands to 10 to 1,000 times that of the Sun. The star takes on a reddish color, which is what gives it its name."
atoms are made of 3 types of sub atomic particles; neutrons, protons and electrons
atomic number is the number of protons which is characteristic for the element. Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons.
mass number is the sum of the neutrons and protons.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different mass numbers. since they are the same element number of protons are the same but number of neutrons vary.
therefore 2 isotopes are of the same element so they have the same number of protons.
It's a base because it increases the concentration of hydroxid ions
