i. Isotones :
Isotones are defined as the atoms of different elements having same number of neutrons in their nuclei.
e.g. \(^{11}_5B\) and \(^{12}_{6}C\) having 6 neutrons each are isotones.
ii. Isoelectronic species :
Isoelectronic species are defined as atoms and ions having the same number of electrons.
e.g. Ar, Ca2+ and K+ containing 18 electrons each.
iii. Electronic configuration :
Electronic configuration of an atom is defined as the distribution of its electrons in orbitals.
