Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Isoelectronicity refers to two or more species having the same number of electrons, resulting in similar Lewis structures. This is a common feature among ions, as they tend to gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. For example, O2- and F- are isoelectronic because they both have 10 electrons and can be represented by the same Lewis structure.
