Question

Explain. Isotope and Isobars​

Answer 1

Answer:

isotope :They are atoms of the same element and have same atomic number but different mass number/atomic mass. For example: Carbon: 6C12 and 6C14

isobars :they are atoms of different elements having same mass number but different atomic number. For example calcium, atomic number 20 and argon, atomic number 18. The number of electrons in these atoms is different, but the mass number of both these elements is 40. That is, the total number of neutrons is the same in the atoms of this pair of elements.

Answer 2

Answer:

Isotopes : Atoms with same number of protons but different number of neutrons are known as isotopes .

Isobars : Atoms with same atomic number but different mass number are known as isobars .
