    a. K⁺

    b. Se²⁻

    Explanation:

    Isoelectronic species are those that have the same number of electrons.

    a.

    Ar has 18 electrons. K has 19 electrons, so when it loses 1 electron to form K⁺, it is isoelectronic with Ar.

    b.

    Kr has 36 electrons. Se has 34 electrons, so when it gains 2 electrons to form Se²⁻, it is isoelectronic with Kr.
