Work Step by Step

To answer this question, we need to find ionic compounds where both the anion and the cation are isoelectronic with the given noble gases. a. Ne: Isoelectronic with neon (Ne) are the fluoride ion (F-) and the sodium cation (Na+). An example of an ionic compound where both the anion and the cation are isoelectronic with neon is sodium fluoride (NaF). b. Ar: Isoelectronic with argon (Ar) are the chloride ion (Cl-) and the potassium cation (K+). An example of an ionic compound where both the anion and the cation are isoelectronic with argon is potassium chloride (KCl). c. Kr: Isoelectronic with krypton (Kr) are the bromide ion (Br-) and the rubidium cation (Rb+). An example of an ionic compound where both the anion and the cation are isoelectronic with krypton is rubidium bromide (RbBr). d. Xe: Isoelectronic with xenon (Xe) are the iodide ion (I-) and the cesium cation (Cs+). An example of an ionic compound where both the anion and the cation are isoelectronic with xenon is cesium iodide (CsI).
