    Isoelectronic species are:

    A)  \[{{N}^{3-}},{{O}^{2-}}\]                             

    B)  \[N{{a}^{+}},C{{a}^{2+}}\]

    C)  \[{{O}^{2-}},{{C}^{2+}}\]                             

    D)  \[{{K}^{+}},N{{a}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Key Idea: Isoetectronic species are those which have same number of electrons. So, lets calculate and find out which pair is isoelectronic species.  \[{{N}^{3-}}\]and\[O_{2}^{-}\] \[{{N}^{3-}}=7+3=10\] \[{{O}^{2-}}=8+2=10\]    \[N{{a}^{+}},C{{a}^{2+}}\]                 \[N{{a}^{+}}=11-1=10\]                 \[C{{a}^{2+}}=20-2=18\]  \[{{O}^{2-}},{{C}^{2-}}\]               \[{{O}^{2-}}=8+2=10\] \[{{C}^{2-}}=6+2=8\]  \[{{K}^{+}},N{{a}^{+}}\] \[{{K}^{+}}=9-1=18\] \[N{{a}^{+}}=11-1=10\] \[\therefore \]\[{{N}^{3-}}\]and\[{{O}^{2-}}\]are isoelectronic species.
