    The number of d-electrons in \[F{{e}^{2+}}\,(Z=26)\] is not equal to the number of electrons in which one of the following?                                                                                                                                                [NEET 2015 ]

    A)  s-electrons in \[Mg(Z=12)\]

    B)  p-electrons in \[Cl\text{ }(Z=17)\]

    C)  d-electrons in \[Fe(Z=26)\]

    D)  p-electrons in \[Ne(Z=10)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Electronic configuration of \[F{{e}^{2+}}\] is \[[Ar]3{{d}^{6}}4{{s}^{0}}\].
    \[\therefore \]      Number of electrons = 6
    \[Mg-1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}\](6d electrons)
    It matches with the 6d electrons of \[F{{e}^{2+}}\]
    \[Cl-1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}\,3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{5}}\](11p elections)
    It does not match with the 6d electrons of \[F{{e}^{2+}}\].
    \[Fe-[Ar]3{{d}^{6}}4{{s}^{2}}\] (6d electrons)
    It matches with the 6d electrons of \[F{{e}^{2+}}\]
    \[Ne-1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}\] (6p electrons)
    It matches with the 6d electrons of \[F{{e}^{2+}}\]
    Hence, \[Cl\] has 11p electrons which does not matches in number with 6d electrons of \[F{{e}^{2+}}\].
