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, Ar = 18
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
Ar: 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.
The best answer among the choices is the first option. The chemical property of soda is that it is a highly basic substance. Its chemical name is sodium carbonate. It is more basic than sodium bicarbonate. Adding soda ash in a solution would increase the pH of the solution.
Answer:
Gas:
- No fixed shape or volume
- Molecules are very loosely packed
- Flows in all the directions
Liquid:
- No fixed shape but has volume
- Molecules are closely packed
- Always flows from higher to lower level
Explanation:
The orbital for fluorine is 1s 2s 2p. All of the boxes should be filled COMPLETELY until you can't no more. How do you know if you can't anymore? By the <u>atomic number</u> of the element. The atomic number for fluorine is 9. So, you keep adding arrows starting from the first box all the way to the last until you have reached the atomic number, in this case, 9.
