Ques. 1AIPMT 2015 (Cancelled)

Which of the following pairs of ions are isoelectronic and isostructural ?

  1. SO32-, NO3-
  2. ClO3-, SO32-
  3. CO32-, SO32-
  4. ClO3-, CO32-

Answer

(2) ClO3-, SO32-

Solution

Number of electrons:

SO32- = 16 + 24 + 2 = 42; NO3- = 7 + 24 + 1 = 32

ClO3- = 17 + 24 + 1 = 42; CO32- = 6 + 24 + 2 = 32

⇒ Isoelectronic pair: ClO3- and SO32- (42 electrons each).

Shape: in both, the central atom has 3 bond pairs + 1 lone pair (sp3) ⇒ both are pyramidal.

∵ NO3- and CO32- are trigonal planar (sp2), the other pairs are not isostructural.

∴ ClO3- and SO32- are isoelectronic and isostructural.
