    Which of the following has the same number of unpaired electrons as are present in samarium?

    A)  Scandium                          

    B)  Chromium

    C)  Manganese      

    D)  Iron

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    The electronic configuration of samarium is as: \[Sm(Z=62):\text{  }\!\![\!\!\text{ }Xe]\text{ }6{{s}^{2}}\text{ }4\text{ }{{f}^{6}}\] Number of unpaired electron = 6 The electronic configuration of chromium is as: \[Cr(Z=24):\text{  }\!\![\!\!\text{ }Ar]\text{ }3{{d}^{5}}4{{s}^{1}}\] Number of unpaired electrons = 6 Hence, Sm and Cr both have same number of unpaired electrons.
