Which of the following are isoelectronic?
A. K⁺¹, Na⁺¹, He
B. Mg⁺², O⁻², Kr
C. N⁻³, O⁻², Ne
D. All are equally similar

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Isoelectronic species are those atoms or ions which same number of electrons.But they differ in physical and chemical properties.

Atomic number of nitrogen atom is 7.

[tex][N]=1s^22s^22p^3[/tex]

[tex][N]^{3-}=1s^22s^22p^6[/tex]

Number electron in nitride ions = [tex]N^{3-}=10[/tex]

Atomic number of oxygen atom is 8.

[tex][O]=1s^22s^22p^4[/tex]

[tex][O]^{2-}=1s^22s^22p^6[/tex]

Number electron in oxide ions = [tex]O^{2-}=10[/tex]

[tex][Ne]=1s^22s^22p^6[/tex]

Number of electrons neon = [tex]Ne=10[/tex]

Hence, [tex]N^{3-} , O^{2-} \& Ne[/tex] are isoelectronic.
