    \[_{19}{{K}^{40}}\] and \[{{\,}_{20}}C{{a}^{40}}\] are known as

    A) isotopes              

    B)        isobars 

    C)        isotones              

    D)        Isodiaphers

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Isotopes: They are atoms of same element which have same atomic numbers but different atomic masses, eg, \[_{\text{1}}^{\text{1}}\text{H,}_{\text{1}}^{\text{2}}\text{H}\]and \[_{\text{1}}^{\text{3}}\text{H}\text{.}\] Isobars: They are atoms of different elements which have different atomic numbers but similar atomic masses. Isotones: These are atoms of different elements which have same number of neutrons. Their atomic numbers and atomic masses both are different, eg, \[_{6}^{12}C\] and \[_{\text{7}}^{\text{15}}\text{N}\text{.}\] \[_{\text{19}}^{\text{49}}\text{K}\]and \[_{\text{20}}^{\text{49}}\text{Ca}\]are isobars because they have same atomic mass (40).
