Chapter 8, Problem 8.42QE

What neutral atoms are isoelectronic with the following ions?

  1. (a) Pb4+
  2. (b) Br
  3. (c) S2–
  4. (d) Ni3+

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The neutral atom that is isoelectronic with Pb4+ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The group of atoms and ions that consists of the same number of electrons is known as isoelectronic series.

Answer to Problem 8.42QE

The neutral atom that is isoelectronic with Pb4+ is Pt.

Explanation of Solution

The atomic number of Pb is 82 and its electronic configuration is [Xe]4f145d106s26p2. Pb4+ is formed by the loss of four electrons from the valence shell of the lead atom so its configuration becomes [Xe]4f145d10. The number of electrons in Pb4+ is 78.

The neutral atom that is isoelectronic with Pb4+ contains the same number of electrons as in Pb4+. The neutral atom with 78 electrons is platinum. So Pt is isoelectronic with Pb4+.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The neutral atom that is isoelectronic with Br has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

Answer to Problem 8.42QE

The neutral atom that is isoelectronic with Br is Kr.

Explanation of Solution

The atomic number of Br is 35 and its electronic configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p5. Br is formed by the gain of one electron to the valence shell of the bromine atom so its configuration becomes 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p6. The number of electrons in Br is 36.

The neutral atom that is isoelectronic with Br contains the same number of electrons as in Br. The neutral atom with 36 electrons is krypton. So Kr is isoelectronic with Br.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The neutral atom that is isoelectronic with S2 has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

Answer to Problem 8.42QE

The neutral atom that is isoelectronic with S2 is Ar.

Explanation of Solution

The atomic number of S is 16 and its electronic configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p4. S2 is formed by the gain of two electrons to the valence shell of the sulfur atom so its configuration becomes 1s22s22p63s23p6. The number of electrons in S2 is 18.

The neutral atom that is isoelectronic with S2 contains the same number of electrons as in S2. The neutral atom with 18 electrons is argon. So Ar is isoelectronic with S2.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The neutral atom that is isoelectronic with Ni3+ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

Answer to Problem 8.42QE

The neutral atom that is isoelectronic with Ni3+ is Mn.

Explanation of Solution

The atomic number of Ni is 28 and its electronic configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p63d84s2. Ni3+ is formed by the loss of three electrons from the valence shell of nickel atom so its configuration becomes 1s22s22p63s23p63d7. The number of electrons in Ni3+ is 25.

The neutral atom that is isoelectronic with Ni3+ contains the same number of electrons as in Ni3+. The neutral atom with 25 electrons is manganese. So Mn is isoelectronic with Ni3+.
