Q24 / 90 · KVPY 2013 (SB/SX) · Chemistry

Among the following, the set of isoelectronic ions is

  • A
    $\mathrm{Na}^{+}, \mathrm{Mg}^{2+}, \mathrm{F}^{-}, \mathrm{Cl}^{-}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{Na}^{+}, \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}, \mathrm{F}^{-}, \mathrm{O}^{2-}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\mathrm{Na}^{+}, \mathrm{Mg}^{2+}, \mathrm{F}^{-}, \mathrm{O}^{2-}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{Na}^{+}, \mathrm{K}^{+}, \mathrm{S}^{2-}, \mathrm{Cl}$

Solution

$\mathrm{Na}^{+}, \mathrm{Mg}^{2+}, \mathrm{F}^{-} \& \mathrm{O}^{2-}$ are isoelectronic(10 electron speceis)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
