    Of the following sets which one does not contain isoelectronic species?

    A)  \[SO_{3}^{2-},\text{ }CO_{3}^{2-},\text{ }NO_{3}^{-}\]                

    B) \[BO_{3}^{3-},\text{ }CO_{3}^{2-},\text{ }NO_{3}^{-}\]

    C)  \[C{{N}^{-}},\text{ }{{N}_{2}},\text{ }C_{2}^{2-}\]           

    D)  \[PO_{4}^{3-},SO_{4}^{2-},ClO_{4}^{-}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Isoelectronic species have same number of electrons.\[SO_{3}^{2-}\]has\[42{{e}^{-}},CO_{3}^{2-}\]has\[32\text{ }{{e}^{-}}\]and \[NO_{3}^{-}\]has\[32\,{{e}^{-}}\]. Hence, these are not isoelectronic species.
