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.

Based on position in the periodic table and electron configuration, arrange these elements in order of decreasing Ei1.
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Rb<K<Ga<As<Se<S

Explanation:

We must remember that first ionization energy decreases down the group and increases across the period.

First ionization energy decreases down the group because of the addition of more shells which increases the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron. Hence, Rb has a lower ionization energy that K.

Across the period, increase in the size of the nuclear charge causes the pull of the nucleus on the outermost electrons to increase thereby increasing the ionization energy. Hence ionization energy increases across the period. For this reason, the ionization energy of Ga<As<Se as shown.
