MCQ
$Be^{2+}$ is isoelectronic with which of the following ions?
  • A
    $H^+$
  • $Li^+$
  • C
    $Na^+$
  • D
    $Mg^{2+}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$Li^+$
b
Isoelectronic species contain same number of electrons. $B e^{2+}$ contains $2$ electrons. Among the given options, only $L i^{+}$ contains $2$ electrons and therefore, it is isoelectronic with $B e^{2+}$ $H^{+} \rightarrow$ no eletron $N a^{+} \rightarrow 10 e^{-}$

$L i^{+} \rightarrow 2 e^{-}$

$M g^{2+} \rightarrow 10 e^{-}$

Hence, $B e^{2+}$ is isoelectronic with $L i^{+}$
