Question

Do isobars belong to the same element?

Answer 1

• Isobars: It is defined as the different elements with the same mass numbers and different atomic numbers are known as isobars.
• Example: ${\mathrm{Ar}}_{18}^{40},{\mathrm{Ca}}_{20}^{40}$ Argon and Calcium have the same mass number but different atomic numbers.
• therefore isobars have different nuclei, hence isobars do not belong to the same element.
