Na with atomic no. 7 after gaining 3 electrons (Na³-)has total 10 (7+3) electrons. O with atomic no. 8 after gaining 2 electrons (O²-) has total 10 (8+2) electrons. F with atomic no. 9 after gaining 1 electron (F-) has total 10 (9+1) electrons. Na with atomic no. 11 after losing 1 electron...

Na with atomic no. 7 after gaining 3 electrons (Na³-)has total 10 (7+3) electrons. 

O with atomic no. 8 after gaining 2 electrons (O²-) has total 10 (8+2) electrons. 

F with atomic no. 9 after gaining 1 electron (F-) has total 10 (9+1) electrons. 

Na with atomic no. 11 after losing 1 electron (Na+)has total 10 (11-1) electrons. 

Mg with atomic no. 12 after losing 2 electrons has total 10 (12-2) electrons. 

Al with atomic no. 13 after losing 3 electrons has total 10 (13-3) electrons. 

So these are all isoelectric species with equal number of electrons. 

b) Increasing order is Al³+, Mg²+, Na²+, F-, O²-, Na³-
