MCQ
Number of unpaired electrons in $M{n^{4 + }}$ is
  • $3$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $6$
  • D
    $4$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$3$
a
$Mn ^{4+}$ has electronic configuration $[ Ar ] \,3 d ^3$

The three $d$ electrons will be unpaired according to Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity.

Hence, number of unpaired electrons in $M n^{4+}(Z=25)$ is $3.$
