Solution

Dear student,

Atoms and ions having the same number of electrons are called isoelectronic species.

Or in detail

Isoelectronicity is the phenomenon of two or more chemical species (atoms, molecules, radicals, ions etc.) differing in the atoms of which they are formed but having the same number of valence electrons and the same structure (that is, the same number of atoms with the same connectivity).

The species concerned are termed isoelectronic.
