Vedclass · Answer

(A) To be isoelectronic,the species must have the same number of electrons.$NO_3^-: 7 + (3 	imes 8) + 1 = 32 \ e^-$$CO_3^{2-}: 6 + (3 	imes 8) + 2 = 32 \ e^-$$ClO_3^-: 17 + (3 	imes 8) + 1 = 42 \ e^-$$SO_3: 16 + (3 	imes 8) = 40 \ e^-$Thus,$NO_3^-$ and $CO_3^{2-}$ are isoelectronic.Both $NO_3^-$ and $CO_3^{2-}$ have a central atom with $sp^2$ hybridization and no lone pairs,resulting in a trigonal planar geometry.Therefore,$NO_3^-$ and $CO_3^{2-}$ are both isoelectronic and isostructural.

Which of the following pairs of molecules is isoelectronic as well as isostructural?
