Answer

i. Isotopes: Nuclides which contain same number of protons but different number of neutrons in their nuclei are called as isotopes. e.g. ${ }_{11}^{22} Na ,{ }_{11}^{23} Na$ and ${ }_{11}^{24} Na$
ii. Isobars: Nuclides (of different element) which have same mass number but have different number of protons and neutrons in their nuclei are called as isobars.
$OR$
The atoms of different elements having the same mass number but different atomic numbers are called isobars.
e.g. ${ }_6^{14} C$ and ${ }_7^{14} N$

Chalcopyrite $(CuFeS_2)$ is a common ore of copper. Since it has low concentration of copper, the ore is first concentrated through froth floatation process. The concentrated ore is then heated strongly with silicon dioxide $($silica$)$ and oxygen in a furnace. The product obtained, copper$(I)$ sulphide, is further converted to copper $(99.5\%$ pure$)$ with a final blast of air $(O_2)$ during which sulphur dioxide is released as a by$-$product.
