    The stability of ferric ion is due to :

    A)  half filled \[f\]-orbitals

    B)  half filled d-orbitals

    C)  completely filled \[f\]-orbitals

    D)  completely filled d-orbitals

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[F{{e}^{3+}}\] ion has the following configuration                 \[F{{e}^{3+}}=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{5}}\] Hence, ferric ion is quite stable due to half filled d-orbitals.
