Question

Explain isotopes and isobars

Answer 1

Explanation:

Isobar is an element that differs in the chemical property, but it has similar physical property. Hence, we can say that isobars are the elements that have a different atomic number but with the same mass number. Also, they have a different chemical property because there is a difference in the electron count. An isobar contains the same atomic mass but a different atomic number because an added number of neutrons recompense the number of nucleons.

Isotopes

Let us consider an example of 2 things, which appear to be the same in colour, in the physical appearance, such that we cannot distinguish between them. However, when we measure the weight of these two, then we find a difference. We can relate the isotopes concept with this example
