Explain with example - isotopes and isobars. How do isotopes differ from isobars?
Answers
1:-Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom.
AND
2:-Isobars are atoms of different chemical elements that have the same number of nucleons. Correspondingly, isobars differ in atomic number but have the same mass number. An example of a series of isobars would be ⁴⁰S, ⁴⁰Cl, ⁴⁰Ar, ⁴⁰K, and ⁴⁰Ca.
Difference between them are:-
Isotopes have the same atomic number, while isobars have the same atomic mass.
Isotopes : Isotopes are atoms that have same atomic number but different mass numbers.
Isotopes have the same atomic number because the number of protons inside their nuclei remains the same.
They have different mass numbers because they have different numbers of neutrons.
are isotopes.
They each have 17 protons in the nucleus, but one isotope has 18 neutrons and the other has 20 neutrons.
Isobars are atoms that have same mass number but different atomic numbers.
Isobars have different atomic numbers because they have different numbers of protons.
They have same mass numbers because they have same numbers of neutrons.
