Q51 / 180 · NEET 2015 (Phase 1) · Chemistry

The number of d-electrons in Fe2+ (Z=26) is not equal to the number of electrons in which one of the following?

  • A
    s-electrons in Mg Z=12
  • Correct answer
    B
    p-electrons in Cl Z=17
  • C
    d-electrons in Fe Z=26
  • D
    p-electrons in Ne Z=10

Solution

26Fe2+⇒18Ar 3d6 ; 6 d-electrons

17Cl⇒1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 ; 11 p-electrons

Mg=1s22s22p63s2 ; 6 s-electrons

d-electrons in Fe= 18Ar3d6=6

p-electrons in Ne=1s22s22p6=6

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