\(Be^{2+}\) is isoelectronic with which of the following ions?

  1. A \(H^+\)
  2. B \(Li^+\)
  3. C \(Na^+\)
  4. D \(Mg^{2+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(Li^+\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Isoelectronic species contain same number of electrons. \(B e^{2+}\) contains \(2\) electrons. Among the given options, only \(L i^{+}\) contains \(2\) electrons and therefore, it is isoelectronic with \(B e^{2+}\) \(H^{+} \rightarrow\) no eletron \(N a^{+} \rightarrow 10 e^{-}\) \(L i^{+} \rightarrow 2 e^{-}\)
