Question
Which of the following pairs of ions are isoelectronic and isostructural?
Options
\[\ce{CO^{2-}_3, NO^-_3}\]
\[\ce{ClO^-_3, CO^{2-}_3}\]
\[\ce{SO^{2-}_3, NO^-_3}\]
\[\ce{ClO^-_3, SO^{2-}_3}\]
Solution
\[\ce{CO^{2-}_3, NO^-_3}\]
Explanation:
\[\ce{CO^{2-}_3}\] and \[\ce{NO^-_3}\] are isoelectronic (32 electrons) and Planar.
