Question

A heteronuclear ion X Y q has 14 electrons and the stipulated N₂-isoelectronic closed-shell configuration. X, Y are distinct members of B, C, N, O, F and q=+1 or−1. Let p count unordered element/charge possibilities and m the sum of their spin-only magnetic moments in BM. Find p+m.

TestHub · Accepted Answer

q=+1 requires nuclear-charge sum 15: C/F, N/O. q=−1 requires13: B/O, C/N. Thus p=4. Each stipulated closed shell has zero unpaired electrons, so m=0. Result 4. Electron count alone is not a universal configuration proof; here the configuration is specified.
