Which of the following is an isoelectronic series? f-, cl-, br-,i- o2- ,f- ,ne, na+ s, cl, ar, k si2- ,p2-, s2-, cl2-

The group of atoms which constitute an isoelectronic series are: O2- ,F- ,Ne, Na+

Definition:

An isoelectronic series refers to a group of atoms/ions with the same electron configuration.

The electron configuration of the atoms/ions in the isoelectronic series are as follows;

It is evident from above that the electron configuration of atoms/ions in the isoelectronic series are equal.

This is not the case in other group of atoms; As such, they are not isoelectronic.

(b) O²⁻,F⁻ ,Ne, Na⁺

Explanation:

An isoelectronic series is a sequence of atoms/ions with the same electron configuration.

(a) F⁻, Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻

F⁻:   [He] 2s²2p⁵

Cl⁻:  [Ne] 3s²3p⁵

Br⁻: [Ar] 4s²4p⁵

I⁻:    [Kr] 5s²5p⁵

The ions all have different electron configurations. Not isoelectronic.

(b) O²⁻,F⁻ ,Ne, Na⁺

O²⁻: [Ne]

F⁻ :  [Ne]

Ne:  [Ne]

Na⁺: [Ne]

The species all have the same electron configuration. Isoelectronic.

(c) S, Cl, Ar, K

S:   [Ne] 3s²3p⁴

Cl: [Ne] 3s²3p⁵

Ar: [Ar]

K:  [Ar] 4s

The atoms all have different electron configurations. Not isoelectronic.

(d) Si²⁻ ,P²⁻, S²⁻-, Cl²⁻

Si²⁻: [Ne] 3s²3p⁴

P²⁻:  [Ne] 3s²3p⁵

S²⁻:  [Ar]

Cl²⁻: [Ar] 4s

The ions all have different electron configurations. Not isoelectronic.

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.
