Question 30

Which of the following pairs carry same no. of electrons, but electronic configuration is not same

Solution

$$\text{Cr}^+$$, $$\text{Mn}^{2+}$$ and $$\text{Fe}^{3+}$$ all have 23 electrons as $$[\text{Ar}]3d^5$$, and $$\text{Co}^{3+}$$ and $$\text{Ni}^{4+}$$ both have 24 electrons as $$[\text{Ar}]3d^6$$. $$\text{Cu}^+$$ and Ni both have 28 electrons, but $$\text{Cu}^+$$ is $$[\text{Ar}]3d^{10}$$ while Ni is $$[\text{Ar}]3d^8 4s^2$$. So only pair d fits.
