Question

abb0t · Answer

I have never heard of the term "isostructural", but I have heard of the term isoelectronic. I also know that iso is a prefix meaning "same"....
Could you be referring to isoelectronic maybe??

anonymous · Answer

yep sorry by mistake i wrote charge on it

abb0t · Answer

In that case, i think you are talking abt isoelectronic. Do you know what isoelectronic means?

anonymous · Answer

no sir i dont

abb0t · Answer

isoelectronic refers to 2 molecules which  have the same number of electrons or a vry similar electron configuration and the same structure(s) -number and connectivity of atoms- despite having different elements.

abb0t · Answer

for instance, CO and NO+ are isoelectronic to each other. Now, with that being said, which do you think are isoelectronic to ammonia.

ok thanx and what is plannar structure and plannarity

abb0t · Answer

again, I am not sure what plannarity means, but as far as  "planar" structure, I am pretty sure that's referring to a square planar molecule or one that can possibly form a square planar structure. For instance: |dw:1359535377630:dw|

|dw:1359535485105:dw|
