                Which of the following configuration is correct for iron?                                                                    

    A)             \[1{{s}^{2}},\text{ }2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},\text{ }3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{5}}\]         

    B)                    \[1{{s}^{2}},\text{ }2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},\text{ }3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}},\text{ }4{{s}^{2}}3{{d}^{5}}\]

    C)              \[1{{s}^{2}},\text{ }2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},\text{ }3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}},\text{ }4{{s}^{2}}3{{d}^{7}}\]                                 

    D)                    \[1{{s}^{2}},\text{ }2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}},\text{ }3{{d}^{6}},4{{s}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Firstly the electrons are filled in increasing order of energy as per Aufbau's principle and then rearrange the sub-shells in increasing order as:                         \[_{26}Fe\text{ }=\text{ }1{{s}^{2}},\text{ }2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},\text{ }3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{6}},\text{ }4{{s}^{2}}\]
