Frequently Asked Question

Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.

Consider the following atomic ions Ba^2+,La^3+, I^- and Sb^3- .rnrn1. Explain why this set of ions forms an isoelectronic series .rnrn2. Identify a neutral element that will be isoelectronic to each of the ions in the given series.

Accepted Answer

1. Ions are considered isoelectronic if they have the same number of electrons. Ba^2+,La^3+, I^-, and Sb^3- all have 54 electrons, so they form an isoelectronic series.

2. The neutral element with 54 electrons is Xenon (Xe).
