Look at the electron configuration for the element, and see if they have the same configuration.
Explanation:
For instance elemental carbon has an electron configuartion of:
But if it gains four more electron...
And then becomes isoelectronic to Neon. So then electronically a carbon atom which has gained four electron has a configuartion of:
