Question : 22
Total: 67
Which of the following are isoelectronic species i.e., those having the same number of electrons?
Na+,K+,Mg2+,Ca2+,S2,Ar
Solution:  
Species Number of electrons
Na+ 11 - 1 = 10
K+ 19 - 1 = 18
Mg2+ 12 – 2 = 10
Ca2+ 20 – 2 = 18
S2 16 + 2 = 18
Ar = 18

Thus Na+ and K+,Mg2+,Ca2+,S2 and Ar have the same number of electrons.
