MCQ
The number of $d$ electrons in $F{e^{ + 2}}$ (atomic number of $Fe = 26$) is not equal to that of the
  • A
    $p$-electrons in $Ne$ (At. No.$= 10$)
  • B
    $s$-electrons in $Mg$ (At. No.$= 12$)
  • C
    $d$-electrons in $Fe$
  • $p$-electrons in $C{l^ - }$ (At. No. of $Cl$ $= 17$)

Answer

Correct option: D.
$p$-electrons in $C{l^ - }$ (At. No. of $Cl$ $= 17$)
d
(d) $_{26}Fe = [Ar]\,3{d^6},\,4{s^2}$

$F{e^{2 + }} = [Ar]\,3{d^6},\,4{s^0}$

Number of $d-$ electrons $= 6$

$_{17}Cl = [Ne]\,3{s^2},\,3{p^5}$

$C{l^ - } = [Ne]\,3{s^2},\,3{p^6}$

Number of $p-$ electrons $= 6.$
