Identify the pairs which are not of isotopes.

a. \(_{6}^{12}X \ , \ _{6}^{13}Y\)
b. \(_{17}^{35}X \ , \ _{17}^{37}Y\)
c. \(_{6}^{14}X \ , \ _{7}^{14}Y\)
d. \(_{4}^{8}X \ , \ _{5}^{8}Y\)

1. a, d
2. b, c 
3. c, d 
4. b, d

(c, d)
(a) X612 and Y613 have same atomic number but different mass number.
(b) X1735 and Y1737 have same atomic number but different mass number. Both these pairs are isotopes to each other.
(c) X614 and Y714 have different atomic number but same mass number.
(d) X48 and Y58 have different atomic number but same mass number.
Both these pairs are isobars to each other.
