    Select the isotopes, isobars and isotones from the following: (Note: the symbols are hypothetical) \[_{1}{{A}^{1}}{{,}_{3}}{{D}^{7}}{{,}_{1}}{{C}^{3}}{{,}_{6}}{{L}^{12}}{{,}_{5}}{{B}^{12}}{{,}_{4}}{{E}^{8}}{{,}_{6}}{{S}^{14}}{{,}_{2}}{{T}^{4}}\]

    Answer:

    Isotopes: These are atoms of same element with same atomic number (Z) and different mass number (A). Isobars: These are atoms of different elements with same mass number (A). Isotones: These are atoms of different elements with same number of neutrons (n). Let us first find the Z, A and n of the given species.
    Nuclide Z A N
    \[_{1}{{A}^{1}}\] 1 1 0
    \[_{3}{{D}^{7}}\] 3 7 4
    \[_{1}{{C}^{3}}\] 1 3 2
    \[_{6}{{L}^{12}}\] 6 12 6
    \[_{5}{{B}^{12}}\] 5 12 7
    \[_{4}{{E}^{8}}\] 4 8 4
    \[_{6}{{S}^{14}}\] 6 14 8
    \[_{2}{{T}^{4}}\] 2 4 2
    From the above chart, it is clear that (i) A, C and L, S are pairs of isotopes. (ii) L and B are isobars (iii) D, E and C, T are pairs of isotones.
