Identify those which are isosteric with each other

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B, C, D
Solution:

All four species—Na+, Mg2+, Al3+, and O2-—are isosteric because they each have 10 electrons (same as Neon configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶).
Since all have identical electronic configuration, they are isoelectronic species.
Isosteric means same number of electrons and similar structure, so all four satisfy this condition.
