CONCEPT:

Isoelectronic Species

  • Two species are said to be isoelectronic if they have the same number of electrons.
  • This includes atoms or ions, regardless of their chemical nature.
  • To find the total number of electrons:

    Total Electrons = Atomic Number ± Charge

EXPLANATION:

  • Sn94−:
    • Atomic number of Sn (in carbon Family)
    • Charge = 4− → Add 4 electrons
    • Total electrons = 9x4 + 4 = 40
  • Bi95+:
    • Atomic number of Bi (Nitrogen family)
    • Charge = 95+ → Remove 5 electrons
    • Total electrons = 9x5 - 5 = 40

 

Therefore, the isoelectronic species are  Sn94-Bi95+
