Two atoms and/or ions that have the same numbers of electrons are called "isoelectronic". Thus, a lithium cation is isoelectronic with a helium atom, because each has a total of two electrons.
it means that the total number of electrons in the ions and the noble gases are the same.
H-, Li+, Be2+ ions are isoelectronic with helium
The neutral atom of plutonium has no charge.
Correct: ''the atoms of the element X are isoelectronic with the ions of the element Y".
The ion Cs+ is isoeletronic with the neutral atom of xenon (54 electrons).

The characterization of element for an atom or ion is determined solely by the number of protons in its nucleus, which remains the same in neutral atoms and in all ions of the element.
Two ions are said to be isoelectronic with each other if they have the same number of valence electrons and the same structure, regardless of the nature of elements involved. some examples are: cations like K+, Ca2+,Sc3+ CO, N2, valence electrons of C- 4, valence electrons of O -6, total num-10 valence electron of N -5 , THEREFORE TOTAL ELECTRONS-5+5=10 .Hence isoelectronic
its is neutral cuz every atom has negative electrons surrounding the nucleus which has a positive protons, each atom have the same number of protons and electrons so the cancel out each other, it becomes neutral, but there are things called positive ions and negative ions, they are atoms that looses or gains electron without the change of the protons
Yes, Chlorine, like any other element, is a neutral atom, but it can form charged ions.
Answering by example: Cl- ion, Ar atom, K+ and Ca2+ ions are all 'iso-electronic' to each other, because they all have the same 20 electrons in the same (noble gas) electron configuration (structure) as argon has: [Ar] = [1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6]
A neutral atom differs in charge from a positive or negative ion.
The standard atom is neutral; the ions are Po2+ and Po4+.
Chlorine needs only one additional electron to form an ion that is isoelectronic with an atom of the noble gas argon, while sulfur needs two additional electrons to form an ion that is isoelectronic with an atom of the noble gas argon. Ions that are isoelectronic with noble gas atoms are particular stable; therefore, their formation is favored.
All ions differ from an electrically neutral atom in that they are missing or have gained one or more electrons. A S2- atom has 2 less electrons than a neutral atom.
