NEET 2021 · ChemistryPrevious Year Question

From the following pairs of ions, which one is NOT an iso-electronic pair?

Answer: (B) $Fe X^{2 +}$ , $Mn X^{2 +}$ . \textbf{Answer:} (B) $Fe X^{2 +}$ , $Mn X^{2 +}$ \textbf{Solution:} Isoelectronic species have the same number of electrons.

A. $Mn X^{2 +}$ , $Fe X^{3 +}$
B. $Fe X^{2 +}$ , $Mn X^{2 +}$ ✓
C. $O X^{2 -}$ , $F X^{-}$
D. $Na X^{+}$ , $Mg X^{2 +}$

Correct Answer

(B) $Fe X^{2 +}$ , $Mn X^{2 +}$

Solution & Explanation

\textbf{Answer:} (B) $Fe X^{2 +}$ , $Mn X^{2 +}$ \textbf{Solution:} Isoelectronic species have the same number of electrons. $Fe X^{2 +}$ has $26 - 2 = 24$ electrons while $Mn X^{2 +}$ has $25 - 2 = 23$ electrons, so this pair is not isoelectronic. The other pairs are isoelectronic.
