Explain isotopes,isobars,isotones,and isomers by giving examples.

$STATEMENT-1$: The plot of atomic number ($y$-axis) versus number of neutrons ($x$-axis) for stable nuclei shows a curvature towards the $x$-axis from the line of $45^{\circ}$ slope as the atomic number is increased.
$STATEMENT-2$: Proton-proton electrostatic repulsions begin to overcome attractive nuclear forces in heavier nuclides,requiring more neutrons to maintain stability.
