Isobar may refer to:
- Isobar (meteorology), a line connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure
- Isobar (nuclide), one of multiple nuclides with the same mass but with different chemical elements
- Isobar (company), an international network of digital marketing agencies
Isobars are atoms ( nuclides) of different chemical elements that have the same number of nucleons. Correspondingly, isobars differ in atomic number (or number of protons) but have the same mass number. An example of a series of isobars would be S, Cl, Ar, K, and Ca. The nuclei of these nuclides all contain 40 nucleons; however, they contain varying numbers of protons and neutrons.
The term "isobars" (originally "isobares") for nuclides was suggested by Alfred Walter Stewart in 1918. It is derived from the Greek word isos, meaning "equal" and baros, meaning "weight".
