    Among the following series of transition metal ions, the one where all metal ions have \[3{{d}^{2}}\]electronic configuration is \[(At.nos.Ti=22;V=23;Cr=24;Mn=25)\]

    A) \[T{{i}^{3+}},{{V}^{2+}},C{{r}^{3+}},M{{n}^{4+}}\]

    B) \[T{{i}^{+}},{{V}^{4+}},C{{r}^{6+}},M{{n}^{7+}}\]

    C) \[T{{i}^{4+}},{{V}^{3+}},C{{r}^{2+}},M{{n}^{3+}}\]

    D) \[T{{i}^{2+}},{{V}^{3+}},C{{r}^{4+}},M{{n}^{5+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    the electronic configuration of different species given in the question are:
    [a] \[{}_{22}T{{i}^{3+}}:1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{1}}\]
    [b] \[{}_{22}T{{i}^{+}}:1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{2}}4{{s}^{1}}\]
    [c] \[{}_{22}T{{i}^{4+}}:1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}\]
    [d] \[{}_{22}T{{i}^{2+}}:1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{2}}\]
    Thus options [a] and [c] are discarded; now let us observe the second point of difference.
    \[{}_{23}{{V}^{4+}}:1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{1}}\]
    Thus option [b] is discarded
    \[{}_{23}{{V}^{3+}}:1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{2}}\]
    \[{}_{24}C{{r}^{4+}}:1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{2}}\]
    \[{}_{25}M{{n}^{5+}}:1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{2}}\]
