Dear Student
 
Isodiaphers are atoms, having different atomic number and mass number but have same difference between number of neutron and number of proton proton number like for example
90Th234 and 92U238 
in thorium proton number is 90 and neutron number is 144
144-90 = 54
in uranium proton number is 92 and neutron number is 146
146 - 92 = 54
 
 
Isotones are elements having the same number of neutrons. Examples of isotones are Chlorine - 37 and Potassium - 39. Both have 20 neutrons in their nuclei
