From the following pairs of ions which one is not an iso-electronic pair?
OF
NaMg
MnFe
FeMn
To determine which pair of ions is not iso-electronic, we need to calculate the number of electrons in each ion.Iso-electronic species have the same number of electrons. Let's analyze each option:Option 1: OF• Oxygen (O) has an atomic number of 8, so a neutral O atom has 8 electrons.• O gains 2 electrons, so it has electrons.• Fluorine (F) has an atomic number of 9, so a neutral F atom has 9 electrons.• F gains 1 electron, so it has electrons.Both ions have 10 electrons, so they are iso-electronic.Option 2: NaMg• Sodium (Na) has an atomic number of 11, so a neutral Na atom has 11 electrons.• Na loses 1 electron, so it has electrons.• Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12, so a neutral Mg atom has 12 electrons.• Mg loses 2 electrons, so it has electrons.Both ions have 10 electrons, so they are iso-electronic.Option 3: MnFe• Manganese (Mn) has an atomic number of 25, so a neutral Mn atom has 25 electrons.• Mn loses 2 electrons, so it has electrons.• Iron (Fe) has an atomic number of 26, so a neutral Fe atom has 26 electrons.• Fe loses 3 electrons, so it has electrons.Both ions have 23 electrons, so they are iso-electronic.Option 4: FeMn• Fe has electrons.• Mn has electrons.These ions have different numbers of electrons, so they are not iso-electronic.Therefore, the pair that is not iso-electronic is Option 4: FeMn
