Which one of the following sets of ions represents a collection of isoelectronic species?
(Given : Atomic Number : $\mathrm{F:9,Cl:17,Na=11,Mg=12,Al=13,K=19,Ca=20,Sc=21}$)
Solution
Isoelectronic species have same number of
electrons.
<br/><br/>$\mathrm{K}^{+}, \mathrm{Cl}^{-}, \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}, \mathrm{Sc}^{3+}$ all have 18 electrons,
hence these are isoelectronic.
