    The stability of ferric ion is due to

    A) half-filled d-orbitals

    B) half-filled f-orbitals

    C) completely filled d-orbitals                         

    D) completely filled f-orbitals

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    E.C. of \[F{{e}^{3+}}\]ion i.e., \[F{{e}^{3+}}\text{=1}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}},\text{2}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}},\text{2}{{\text{p}}^{\text{6}}},\text{3}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}},\text{3}{{\text{p}}^{\text{6}}},\text{3}{{\text{d}}^{\text{5}}}\]. Therefore, ferric ion is quite stable due to half-filled d-orbitals.
