1.

Which one of the following ions is not iso-electronic with F- ? 1. O2-2. Na+3. Ne4. N-

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : N-

  • Isoelectronic refers to two atoms, ions, or molecules that have the same electronic structure and the same number of valence electrons.
  • N- has 2+5 = 7 electrons.
  • F- has 9+1 = 10 electrons thus N- is not iso-electronic with F- .

  •  Atoms or ions with the same electronic configurations are said to be isoelectronic to each other or to have the same isoelectronicity.
  • For example, the following three ions N3-, O2-, F- have 10 electrons.  Thus these ions have the same electronic configuration.
    • N3- has 7+3 = 10 electrons
    • O2- has 8+2= 10 electrons
    •  F- has 9+1 = 10 electrons
    • Ne has 2+8 = 10 electrons
    • Na+ has 2+8 = 10 electrons
