NEET 2021

Answer 1

Isoelectronic refers to two atoms, ions, or molecules that have the same number of total electrons and the same number of valence electrons.
(a) $O^{2-}and{F}^{-}$ both have 10 electrons
(b) $N{a}^{+}andM{g}^{2+}$ both have 10 electrons
(c) $M{n}^{2+}andF{e}^{3+}$ both have 23 electrons
(d) $F{e}^{2+}$ has 24 electrons.
$M{n}^{2+}$ has 23 electrons.
So, option (d) is correct.
