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.
Remember that
- For being a bond covalent ∆E<1.8
- For being a bond ionic ∆E>1.8
#1
Carbon is present so it's covalent
#2
#3
- P-H will hardly form a bond
#4
#5
3.
protium (A = 1), deuterium (A = 2), and tritium (A = 3).
In an atom, the number of neutrons determines most specifically the isotopes of an element.
<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>An atom </h3>
- An atom is defined as the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
- Atoms are made of energy shells and the inner nucleus.
- It is also made up of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons.
<h3>Neutrons </h3>
- They are sub-atomic particles in an atom that are found in the nucleus of an atom. They have a zero charge or no charge.
- Neutrons are slightly heavier than protons.
- The number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus of an atom results to the atomic mass number of an atom. Like protons they only take part in nuclear reactions.
<h3>Protons</h3>
- Protons are subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom. They are positively charged. with a charge of +1.
- The number of protons differ from one element to another and thus used as the atomic number of an individual element.
- The nucleus of an atom is positively charged due to the positive charge of the protons.
- Additionally, protons do not take part in chemical reactions but in nuclear reactions.
<h3>Electrons </h3>
- They are found orbiting the nucleus on energy shells based on Clouds’ theory. Electrons are negatively charged each with a charge of -1.
- The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are equal. Additionally they have the least mass of the three sub-atomic particles.
- Electrons are the only sub-atomic particles that take part in chemical reactions.
<h3>Isotopes </h3>
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same mass number but different atomic number.
<h3>Mass number;</h3>
- Mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of an element.
