The regulation of mineral ions in the cellular fluids of biological systems is performed by ion pumps that selectively transport ions of specific size and charge across cellular membranes. which of the following isoelectronic species is the smallest ion? a. na+[19%]b. f−[27%]c. mg2+-correctd. o2−[13%]

The smallest ion is : Mg 2+

Increasing Order of size :

Mg2+ < Na+ < F- < O2-

Explanation:

Isoelectronic Species : Species having same number of electrons .

= Effective attraction of the nucleus felt by the outer shell electrons.

The size of the atom is decided by :

As the positive charge increases the size of the ion decreases.

As the negative charge increases the size of ion also increases.

Negative charged ions :  F- , O2-

Negative charge are formed when electrons are added to the atoms.

When Negative ion is formed :

Hence it becomes difficult for the proton in the nucleus to attract the electrons.

Electron - electron Repulsion increases

 = decreases

Size increase

Positive charged ions :  Na+ , Mg2+

Positive charge are formed when electrons are removed from the atoms.

When Positive ion is formed :

Hence  more attraction of the nucleus is felt by the outer electron.

Electron - electron Repulsion Decreased

 = increases

Size decreases

answer:

the reaction is type of combination reaction.

explanation:

on the product side, there are 2 molecules of bonded to fe   which means one atom of fe are combined two molecules of . so, balanced chemical equation becomes :

this reaction follows the reaction type of combination reaction. a combination reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which reactants combines together to form a single product.
