209Po and 211Po are isotopes of polonium. 209Po and 211Po have the same number of protons and electrons, also the same atomic number; the number of protons is of course different. The two isotopes are radioactive.

Polonium-209 and polonium-211 are both isotopes of the element polonium, with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. They are both radioactive isotopes and decay through alpha particle emission. Both isotopes have similar chemical properties due to their identical number of electrons in their outer shell.
