NEET · Chemistry · STD 11 - 2. structure of atom

From the following pairs of ions which one is not an iso-electronic pair?

A \(\mathrm{O}^{2-}, \mathrm{F}^{-}\)
B \(\mathrm{Na}^{+}, \mathrm{Mg}^{2+}\)
C \(\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}, \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\)
D \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}, \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}\)

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}, \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Not isoelectronic \(\mathrm{Fe}^{+2}\)

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.

Match the Xenon compounds in Column\(-I\) with its structure in Column\(-II\) and assign the correct code

Column\(-I\)	Column\(-II\)
\((a)\) \(\mathrm{XeF}_{4}\)	\((i)\) pyramidal
\((b)\) \(\mathrm{XeF}_{6} \)	\((ii)\) square planar
\((c)\) \(\mathrm{XeOF}_{4}\)	\((iii)\) distorted octahedral
\((d)\) \(\mathrm{XeO}_{3} \)	\((iv)\) square pyramidal

code : \((a) \quad (b)\quad (c) \quad (d)\)
