Q2 / 105 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · d and f Block Elements

Among the following series of transition metal ions, how many metals ions have d 2 electronic configuration

Fe4+,V3+,Sn2+,Au3+Ti2+,As3+,Cr3+,Mn5+Co3+,Zr2+,Cd2+,Mo4+,La2+,Ta4+,Co6+,Ni4+

Correct answer: 6

Solution

Ti22=3d24s2 ; Ti2+=3d2

V23=3d34s2 ; V3+=3d2

Cr24=3d54s1 ; Cr4+=3d2

Mn25=3d54s2 ; Mn5+=3d2

Zr40= 4d25s2 ; Zr2+= 4d2

Mo42= 4d55s1;Mo4+= 4d2

Hence, the correct answer is 6.
