MCQ
Which of the following does not have valence electron in $3d-$ subshell
  • A
    $Fe (III)$
  • B
    $Mn (II)$
  • C
    $Cr (I)$
  • $P (0)$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$P (0)$
d
$P (0)$ : Phosphorus is not a d-block element. It is an element from p-block ($15$ group or Nitrogen group), thus, can not have any valance electron in $d$ subshell.

All other elements are $d-block$ elements therefore has valance electron in $3 d$ subshell.

Electronic configuration of $Cr ( I )$ is $1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^6 3 s^2 3 p^6 3 d^5$.

Electronic configuration of $F (III)$ is $1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^6 3 s^2 3 p^6 3 d^5$

Electronic configuration of $Mn (II)$ is $1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^6 3 s^2 3 p^6 3 d^5$.

So, all these have valence electrons in $3 d$ - subshell.
