Here the six transition metal atoms are given Sc, Ti, V, Co, Ni, Cu. Among these how many pairs are having same no of unpaired electrons ________________


Correct Answer: 3

Solution

The numbers of unpaired electrons are Sc ($$3d^1 4s^2$$) 1, Ti ($$3d^2$$) 2, V ($$3d^3$$) 3, Co ($$3d^7$$) 3, Ni ($$3d^8$$) 2 and Cu ($$3d^{10}4s^1$$) 1. The matching pairs are Sc and Cu, Ti and Ni, and V and Co, so there are 3 pairs.
