Question is Attached

A group of species is given to you: CI', Kr, Ne, Ar, P,s and K*. Identify the species that are isoelectronic and arrange them in order of increasing their lonie radius.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Isoelectronic series is a series of atoms, molecules and ions where each species possess the same number of electrons but the nuclear charge varies.

As the atomic number increases, the number of proton will increase and so will the nuclear charge. On taking into consideration the effective nuclear charge then the ions having higher nuclear charge will attract the electrons more strongly. Therefore, the radii of the ions in an isoelectronic series decreases with rise in the nuclear charge(or atomic number).
