An isoelectronic series is where all of the ions listed have the same number of electrons in their atoms. When an atom has net charge of zero or neutral, it has equal number of protons and electrons. Hence, it means that the atomic number = no. of protons = no. of electrons. If these atoms become ions, they gain a net charge of + or -. Positive ions are cations. This means that they readily GIVE UP electrons, whereas negative ions (anions) readily ACCEPT electrons. So, to know which of these are isoelectronic, let's establish first the number of electron in a neutral atom from the periodic table:

Na=11; K=19; Rb=37; Cs = 55; Ca=20; S=16; Mg=12; Li=3; Be=4; B=5; C=6

A. Na⁺: 11-1 = 10 electrons
     K⁺: 19 - 1 = 18 electrons
     Rb⁺: 37-1 = 36 electrons

B. K⁺: 19 - 1 = 18 electrons
    Ca²⁺: 20 - 2 = 18 electrons
    S²⁻:  16 +2 = 18 electrons

C. Na⁺: 11-1 = 10 electrons
    Mg²⁺: 12 - 2 = 10 electrons
     S²⁻:  16 +2 = 18 electrons

D. Li=3 electrons
    Be=4 electrons
    B=5 electrons
    C=6 electrons

The answer is letter B.

Why must each atom of an element always have the same number of protons?
Yuliya22 [10]
Atoms do not always contain the same number of electrons and protons, although this state is common. When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. In contrast, when an atom loses or gains an electron (or the rarer case of losing or gaining a proton, which requires a nuclear reaction), the total charges add up to something other than zero.

Given the following balanced equation, determine the rate of reaction with respect to [Cl2]. If the rate of Cl2 loss is 4.44 × 1
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

8.88 x 10⁻² M/s

Explanation:

The rate  of reaction for:

                    NO(g) + Cl₂ (g) ⇒  2NOCl(g)

is rate = -ΔNO/Δt = -ΔCl2/Δt = 1/2 ΔNOCl/Δt

so  ΔNOCl/Δt = 2 ΔCl2/Δt  = 2  x 4.44 × 10⁻²  M/s = 8.88 x 10⁻² M/s

In general given a reaction

                            aA + bB ⇒ cC + dD

rate = -1/a ΔA/Δt = -1/b ΔB/Δt = 1/c ΔC/Δt = 1/d ΔD/Δt
