Solution

Atoms with the same mass number but different atomic numbers are called isobars. The mass number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons. Atomic number (Z) is the number of protons. Therefore, isobars have different numbers of protons but the same total number of nucleons.

Example: Ar1840 and K1940 both have A=40, but Z=18 and Z=19 respectively.

Final Answer: isobars
