    Which of the following is most stable among \[C{{u}^{+}},F{{e}^{+}},F{{e}^{2+}}\]and \[F{{e}^{3+}}\]?

    A)  \[C{{u}^{+}}\]                                  

    B)  \[F{{e}^{+}}\]

    C)  \[F{{e}^{2+}}\]                                

    D)  \[F{{e}^{3+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    \[F{{e}^{3+}}\]electronic configuration \[3{{s}^{2}}\,3{{p}^{6}}\,3{{d}^{5}}\],has half-filled d-orbital is more stable than \[C{{u}^{+}}\], \[F{{e}^{+}}\] and \[F{{e}^{2+}}\] . \[C{{u}^{+}}\] electronic configuration \[3{{s}^{2}}\text{ }3{{p}^{6}}\text{ }3{{d}^{10}}\]although having fully-filled 3rd shell is less stable because nuclear charge (29 protons) on \[Cu\] is not sufficient enough to hold 28 electrons.
