Answer the following : (i) Which neutral molecule would be isoelectronic with ClO^(-)? (ii) Of Bi (V) and Sb (V) which may be a stronger oxidising agent and why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :`CIO^(-)` has a total of 26 (17+ 8+1) electrons. The neutral molecule having 26 electrons = CIF
`therefore CIO^(-)`is ISOELECTRONIC with CIF.
Another neutral molecule having 26 electrons is `OF_2`
`thereforeCIO^-`is ALSO isoelectronic with the neutral molecule `OF_2.`
