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

Isotones have the same number of Neutrons but different protons, like Boron 12, and Carbon 13.

If you meant Isotopes, they have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons, like Carbon 12 and Carbon 13

Two or more molecular entities (atoms, molecules, or ions) are described as being isoelectronicwith each other if they have the same number of electrons or a similar electron configuration andthe same structure (number and connectivity of atoms), regardless of the nature of the elements involved.

example:

The N atom and the O+ radical ion are isoelectronic because each has five electrons in the outer electronic shell.

An ion is an atom from which one or more electrons have been removed (+ charge) or added (- charge). They are not very stable and form ionic bonds with opposite charge ions near them.

Atoms which have the same nuber of electrons. One can be an ion (be charged) and one can be neutral. Or two different ions can be isoelectronic. If both are neutral, it's the same atom.

Ions that have the same number of electrons are known as isoelectronic ions. For example, F-, O2-, Na+, Mg2+ all have 10 electrons and are isoelectronic ions

Can you say that isotopes are isoelectronic species?

Isoelectronic means equal electric. They are made of equally combined ions. So I'm figuring No, because Isotopes are an equal number of protons and neutrons.

What is the Isoelectronic Principle?

The Isoelectronic concept is used to describes dissimilar atoms or ions with identical electronic configurations. They must have atomic mass greater then hydrogen, the same number of nuclei and the same number of electrons.

When an ion and an atom are isoelectronic?

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]
