Which of the following has the maximum number of unpaired 'd' electrons?

  • Zn2+

  • Fe2+

  • Ni3+

  • Cu+


B.

Fe2+

Zn (30) =[Ar] 3d10, 4s2

Zn2+=[Ar] 3d10 (no unpaired electron)

Fe(26) = [Ar] 3d6, 4s2

Fe2+= [Ar] 3d6 (four unpaired d electrons)

                

Ni (28) = [Ar] 3d8, 4s2

Ni3+= [Ar] 3d7 (three unpaired d electrons)

                

Cu (29) = [Ar] 3d10, 4s1

Cu+= [Ar] 3d10 (no unpaired electron)
