Is Fe3+ Isoelectric with V?

I was thinking that Fe3+ is not isoelectric because it loses its 4s2 electrons to become 3+ and Vanadium still has its 4s2 electrons. So I guess what I'm saying is: Does Fe lose its 4s electrons or its 3d electrons to become oxidized to +3?

Your evaluation is more or less correct. Fe3+ has lost its 4s electrons while V still has both.
But... remember that there are times when this breaks down. Are Fe3+ and Cr+ isoelectronic?
