Q2 / 225 · JEE Main 2004 · Chemistry

Consider the ground state of $\mathrm{Cr}$ atom $(Z=24)$. The number of electrons with the azimuthal quantum numbers $\mathrm{I}=1$ and 2 are respectively

  • A
    12 and 4
  • B
    16 and 5
  • C
    16 and 4
  • Correct answer
    D
    12 and 5

Solution

$24 \longrightarrow 1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^6 3 s^2 3 p^6 4 s^1 3 d^5$ $I=1 \rightarrow p \longrightarrow 12$ $I=2 \rightarrow d \longrightarrow 5$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
