    Isoelectronic means equal number of electrons.

    O + is formed when the atom of O loses 1 electron.

    The number of electrons of neutral O atom equals its number of protons.

    Number of protons identifies the atomic number and position of the element in the periodic table.

    The positon of O in the periodic table is A = 8, so it has 8 electrons and O + has 8 - 1 = 7 electrons.

    The neutral atom with one electron less than O is of the element to the left of O in the periodic table (A = 7). That element is N.

    Therefore, the neutral atom isoelectronic with O + is N (both have 7 electrons).
