    Which of the following cations has the maximum number of unpaired electrons?

    A) \[M{{n}^{2+}}\]                               

    B)  \[F{{e}^{2+}}\]

    C)  \[C{{o}^{2+}}\]                                

    D)  \[N{{i}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[M{{n}^{2+}}(Z=25):[Ar]\,\,3{{d}^{5}}4{{s}^{0}};5\]unpaired electrons \[F{{e}^{2+}}(Z=26):[Ar]\,\,3{{d}^{6}}4{{s}^{0}};4\]unpaired electrons \[C{{o}^{2+}}(Z=27):[Ar]\,\,3{{d}^{7}}4{{s}^{0}};3\]unaired electrons \[N{{i}^{2+}}(Z=28):[Ar]\,\,3{{d}^{8}}4{{s}^{0}};2\]unpaired electrons Hence,\[M{{n}^{2+}}\]cation Has the maximum number of unpaired electrons. .
