Question

The charges of a set of isoelectronic ions vary from 3+ to 3-. Place the ions in order of increasing size.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

  Iso-electronic species have same number of electrons . Positive charged ions will have smaller size . As electrons add , size increases due to electronic repulsion .

Following species are isoelectronic .

Al³⁺ < Mg²⁺ < Na¹⁺ < Ne < F⁻¹ < O⁻² < N⁻³
