The correct Answer is:
To determine the relationship between `Na2SeO4` (Sodium Selenate) and `Na2SO4` (Sodium Sulphate), we can analyze their structures and properties step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Compounds - `Na2SO4` is Sodium Sulphate, which contains sulfur as the central atom. - `Na2SeO4` is Sodium Selenate, which contains selenium as the central atom. **Hint:** Look at the central atom in both compounds to understand their similarities. ### Step 2: Compare the Central Atoms - Both sulfur (S) and selenium (Se) are in the same group (Group 16) of the periodic table. This means they have similar chemical properties and valencies. **Hint:** Remember that elements in the same group often exhibit similar behaviors and bonding characteristics. ### Step 3: Analyze the Geometry - Since both compounds have the same valency and similar atomic sizes, the geometry around the central atoms (S and Se) will be similar. This results in both compounds having a similar arrangement of atoms. **Hint:** Consider how the arrangement of atoms affects the overall structure of the compounds. ### Step 4: Determine Crystal Structure - Because both compounds have similar geometries and arrangements, they will form similar crystal structures. Compounds that have the same crystal structure but different chemical compositions are referred to as isomorphous. **Hint:** Isomorphism occurs when different compounds can crystallize in the same structure. ### Step 5: Evaluate Other Options - **Polymorphous:** This term refers to different forms of the same compound, which is not applicable here. - **Alloys:** These are mixtures of metals, and since we only have sodium in these compounds, this option is not applicable. - **Ferromagnetic:** For a substance to be ferromagnetic, it must have unpaired electrons. Both sulfur and selenium in these compounds have a +6 oxidation state, indicating a stable electronic configuration with no unpaired electrons. **Hint:** Assess the definitions of polymorphous, alloys, and ferromagnetic to eliminate incorrect options. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis, `Na2SeO4` and `Na2SO4` are **isomorphous** because they have similar crystal structures due to the presence of central atoms from the same group in the periodic table. **Final Answer:** `Na2SeO4` and `Na2SO4` are isomorphous.
