Properties of Isoelectronic Species
Asked by Meghana Chawla · 1 year ago
How do the properties of isoelectronic species compare to each other?
1 Answer
Isoelectronic species have similar electronic configurations but different nuclear charges. As a result, their properties vary in a predictable manner:
1. Size: As the nuclear charge increases, the size of the species decreases.
2. Ionization energy: It increases with increasing nuclear charge.
3. Electron affinity: It generally decreases as the nuclear charge increases.
4. Electronegativity: It increases with increasing nuclear charge.
