Definition of isotopes isobars isotones in physics
Answers
Isobars- each of two or more isotopes of different elements, with the same atomic weight.
Isotones - Two nuclides are isotones if they have the same neutron number N, but different proton number Z. For example, boron-12 and carbon-13 nuclei both contain 7 neutrons, and so are isotones. Similarly, ³⁶S, ³⁷Cl, ³⁸Ar, ³⁹K, and ⁴⁰Ca nuclei are all isotones of 20 because they all contain 20 neutrons.
Answer:
✡Isotopes✡
Isotopes are the atoms of the same element having same atomic number but different mass number.
example
³⁵Cl { Chlorine }
¹⁷
✡Isobars✡
Isobars are the atoms of different elements having different atomic number but the same mass number.
example
⁴⁰Ar { Argon } and ⁴⁰Ca { Calcium }
¹⁸ ²⁰
✡Isotones✡
Isotones are the atoms of different elements having same number of neutrons.
example
¹³C { Carbon } and ¹⁴N { Nitrogen }

✡What is atomic number??✡
The number of unit positive charge carried by the nucleus of an atom is termed as atomic number.
✡what is mass number??✡
The sum of the neutrons and protons is called mass number.
