Answer:

Isotopes

isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons but that have a different number of neutrons. since the atomic number is equal to the number of protons and the atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons, isotopes are elements with the same atomic number but different mass numbers.

Isobars

Atoms of different elements with different atomic numbers, which have the same mass number, are known as isobars.

★ Isotopes have the same number of protons so their atomic numbers and chemical properties are the same. On the other hand isobars will have different chemical properties.

Some uses of isotopes:

★ An isotope of uranium is used as a fuel in nuclear reactors.

★An isotope of cobalt is used in the treatment of cancer.

★An isotope of iodine is used in the treatment of goitre.

The average mass of any element will be the average of the isotopes of the element.
