MCQ
The stability of ferric ion is due to:
  • A
    Half field $f-$orbital
  • Half field $d-$orbital
  • C
    Complete field $f-$orbital
  • D
    Complete field $d-$orbital

Answer

Correct option: B.
Half field $d-$orbital
$\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}=\ce{1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^6 3 s^2 3 p^6 3 d^5d}$ orbital is half filled.So ferric ion is stable.
