isotopes = atoms if the same element but different atomic mass. like
three isotopes of carbon: carbon-12, carbon-13 and carbon-14. The numbers that are after the carbon shows the atomic mass.
this is due to the fact that the number of neutrons can be different .
isobars = same atomic mass but are atoms of different elements. in other words they are nuclie of separate elements having the same number of nucleons
For example, Cobalt ,Nickel , Copper , and Iron have same atomic mass that is 64
