Answer
View full question & answer→| Sr. No. | Isotopes | Isobar |
| 1. | Isotopes are atoms of the same element thus having same atomic number but different mass number. | Isobars are such atoms which have same mass number but different atomic numbers. Thus isobars are different elements |
| 2. | Example: Hydrogen has three isotopes protium, with deuterium, tritium atomic number 1 but mass number 1,2,3. | Example: Calcium and Argon are isobars as they have atomic number 20 and 18 but their mass number is 40. |
