MCQ
The pair of ions having same electronic configuration is __________.
  • A
    Cr3+, Fe3+.
  • B
    Fe3+, Mn2+.
  • C
    Fe3+, Co3+.
  • D
    Sc3+, Cr3+.

Answer

  1. Fe3+, Mn2+.

Explanation:

Cr3+ (Z = 24) = [Ar]3d3

Fe3+ (Z = 26) = [Ar]3d5

Mn2+ (Z = 25) = [Ar]3d5

Co3+ (Z = 27) = [Ar]3d6

Sc3+ (Z = 21) = [Ar]3d0

Fe3+ and Mn2+ will have the same number of electrons, i.e., 23 and, hence, have the same electronic configuration.
