Answer:
A (H)
Explanation:
The key uptop shows all the red are non metal and "H: is pink
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.
Usually, a model is a depiction of a certain entity, never the real thing. In times
past, many, many models look great on paper but are way off!
<span>No. Zn can only have oxidation states of 1+ or 2+. For this compound to be able to exist, the Zn would have to have an oxidation state of 2- to counteract the 2+ from the 2 sodium ions. Sodium ions each have a +1 charge, so the 2 sodium ions would carry a +2 charge. In order for the compound to exist, the net charge between the 2 sodium and 1 zinc atoms would need to be 0.</span>
