Which one of the following ions has same number of unpaired electrons as those present in V+ ion?
Fe3+
Ni2+
Mn2+
Cr3+
B.
Ni2+
(i) 23V= [Ar]3d3 4s2
V3+ = [Ar]3d2 4s0 = 2 unpaired electrons
(ii) 26Fe= [Ar]3d6 4s2
Fe3+ =[Ar] 3d5 4s0 = 5 unpaired electrons
(iii) 28Ni =[Ar] 3d8 4s2
Ni2+= [Ar] 3d8 4s0 = 2 unpaired electrons
(iv) 25Mn = [Ar] 3d5 4s2
Mn2+= [Ar] 3d5 = 5 unpaired electrons
24Cr = [Ar] 3d5 4s1
Cr3+ = [Ar] 3d3 4s1 = 3 unpaired electrons
