Re: isoelectronic
Hi,
Isoelectronic means having the same number of electrons. For example, a cation may have the same number of electrons and be isoelectronic to another element because it has lost electrons.

Re: isoelectronic
Isoelectronic is used to describe atoms and ions with the same number of electrons
For example Na+ and Mg2+

Re: isoelectronic
Hi, follow up question. What does it do for the elements to be isoelectronic? Do they act similarly? Or does it affect them in other ways?

Re: isoelectronic
Hi! Isoelectronic means that the atoms have the same amount of electrons. For example, O2-, F1- and Ne are isoelectric as they all have 10 electrons. From my understanding, isoelectronic atoms share similar properties, so knowing that they are isoelectronic can help you in understanding the properties of an unknown atom.

Re: isoelectronic
Isoelectronic means that two things have the same amount of electrons. An example would be that Ag 3+ and Mg 2+ are isoelectronic.

Re: isoelectronic
If two species are isoelectronic, it means they have the same number of electrons. However, the two species will still have different properties as their nuclear charges are different.

Re: isoelectronic
Hi! Great question! To my understanding, isoelectronic means the same number of electrons (but doesn’t always mean same characteristics). I hope this helps! Good luck.

What does isoelectronic mean?
Hi! Isoelectronic means that the two entities (ie. atoms, ions, molecules, etc.) have the same number of electrons. This does not mean they have the same characteristics or the same charge. Hope this helps!

Re: isoelectronic
Isoelectronic is when two atoms/ions have the same number of electrons. For example Ar and Ca2+ have the same number of electrons because Ca lost two electrons making it have 18 electrons exactly like Ar.

Re: isoelectronic
Isoelectronic means having the same number of electrons. For example, Ne and O2- have the same number of electrons even though they have a different number of protons.
Re: isoelectronic
Isoelectronic is simply a term used to describe atoms with the same amount of electrons.

Isoelectronic is when atoms and ions have the same number of electrons. However, this does not imply they have the same chemical or physical properties because they have different nuclear charges. I hope this helps!!
