The correct Answer is:
To determine the isoelectronic set of ions, we need to identify ions that have the same number of electrons, even if they come from different elements. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand Isoelectronic Species Isoelectronic species are ions or atoms that have the same number of electrons but different nuclear charges. ### Step 2: Analyze Each Option We will analyze the given options to check which set of ions has the same number of electrons. #### Option 1: N³⁻, O²⁻, F⁻, Na⁺ - **N³⁻**: Nitrogen (N) has 7 electrons. With a charge of -3, it gains 3 electrons, resulting in 10 electrons. - **O²⁻**: Oxygen (O) has 8 electrons. With a charge of -2, it gains 2 electrons, resulting in 10 electrons. - **F⁻**: Fluorine (F) has 9 electrons. With a charge of -1, it gains 1 electron, resulting in 10 electrons. - **Na⁺**: Sodium (Na) has 11 electrons. With a charge of +1, it loses 1 electron, resulting in 10 electrons. All four ions have 10 electrons. Therefore, this option is isoelectronic. #### Option 2: Li²⁺, Na⁺ - **Li²⁺**: Lithium (Li) has 3 electrons. With a charge of +2, it loses 2 electrons, resulting in 1 electron. - **Na⁺**: Sodium (Na) has 11 electrons. With a charge of +1, it loses 1 electron, resulting in 10 electrons. These ions do not have the same number of electrons. #### Option 3: N³⁻, Li⁺ - **N³⁻**: As calculated, it has 10 electrons. - **Li⁺**: Lithium (Li) has 3 electrons. With a charge of +1, it loses 1 electron, resulting in 2 electrons. These ions do not have the same number of electrons. #### Option 4: F⁻, Li⁺ - **F⁻**: As calculated, it has 10 electrons. - **Li⁺**: As calculated, it has 2 electrons. These ions do not have the same number of electrons. ### Step 3: Conclusion The only set of ions that is isoelectronic is from Option 1: N³⁻, O²⁻, F⁻, and Na⁺. ### Final Answer The isoelectronic set of ions is: **N³⁻, O²⁻, F⁻, Na⁺**. ---
