Explanation :
Isobars are atoms of different chemical elements that have the same number of nucleons. Correspondingly, isobars differ in atomic number (number of protons) but have the same mass number. An example of a series of isobars is 40s, 40c1, 40AL 40K, and 40Ca. The nuclei of these nuclides all contain 40 nucleons; however, they contain varying numbers of protons and neutrons.
