    Which of the following configuration is correct for iron?                                          [AIPMT 1999]

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

    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: \[_{26}Fe=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{6}},4{{s}^{2}}\]
