Isoelectronic

[Mary Becerra 2D]

What does isoelectronic mean? It was #5D on the midterm. The question asked to choose the two ions that were not isoelectronic with fluoride ion (F-). I answered correctly with the ions O- and N2- but I do not fully understand the concept.

Isoelectronic means that the two ions have the same number of valence electrons.

F^- has valence 8 electrons
Because O^- and N^2- each have only 7 valence electrons, they are not isoelectronic with F^-

[MariaJohn1D]

Isoelectronic means that both atoms have the same number of valence electrons. Ex: Na+,F-

[MariaJohn1D]

Isoelectronic means that both atoms have the same number of valence electrons. Ex: Na+,F-

[Kelsey Li 3B]

Isoelectronic means that the two atoms have the same number of valence electrons

[Jaifreen_Bhangu_3K]

Isoelectric is referring to an element that has the same amount of valence electrons.

[Selina Bellin 2B]

Isoelectronic means the atoms have the same number of valence electrons! hope this helps

[Anmol_cheema_2F]

isoelectronic: having the same numbers of electrons or the same electronic structure.

[Alex Alonso - 4F]

Isoelectronic means that two ions/an ion and an element have the same amount of valence electrons

[Richard Ku 4H]

Isoelectric means 2 atoms that share the same electron configuration of the outermost shell (share the same number of valence electrons)

[Mikka Hoffman 1C]

Isolelectronic means that two atoms have the same number of valence electrons and the same electron configuration

Can elements only be isoelectronic if they have the same # of valence electrons?

[Archana Biju 1G]

Isoelectronic means 2 different elements have the same number of valence electron.

[Jaedyn_Birchmier3F]

Isoelectric means that two atoms have the same number of valence electrons. F- would have 8 valence electrons. O- would have 7 valence electrons. N2- would have 7 valence electrons. Therefore these two atoms are not isoelectronic to F- as they both have one less valence electron.

How does being isoelectric affect polarizability?
