Question

Are atoms of the same element considered isoelectronic? For example is O2 and O2 isoelectronic​

Answer 1

Answer:

Iso means same

Electronic means electrons

Isoelectronic means species ( atoms, molecules, ions) having same number of electrons.

Homoatomic molecules can't form isoelectonics, as per your example

O2 has…..16 electrons

O2–has…..17 electrons

O2^-2 has…18 electrons

O2+ has….15 electrons

O2^+2 has…14 electrons

N^-3, O^-2, F-, Ne ,Na+, Mg^+2, Al^+3 all are having 10 electrons each, so all these species are isoelectonics.
