221.

The maximum number of unpaired electrons is present in

  • Fe

  • Cu

  • Co

  • Ni


222.

Ce4+ is stable. This is because of

  • half-filled d-orbitals

  • all paired electrons ind-orbitals

  • empty orbital

  • fully filled d-orbital


C.

empty orbital

The electronic configuration of Ce is-

Ce58 = [Xe] 4f1 5d1 6s2 (predicted)

or     = [Xe] 4f2 5d0 6s2 (observed)

Ce4+ = [Xe] 4f0 5d0 6s0

Since, in +4 oxidation state, all (i.e. 4f, 5d and 6s) orbitals are empty and Ce gains the stable configuration of nearest inert gas, Ce4+ is most stable.
