Vedclass · Answer

(C) Step $1$: Determine the electronic configuration and number of unpaired electrons for each ion.$Fe^{2+}$ $(Z=26)$: $[Ar] 3d^6$. Unpaired electrons = $4$.$Mn^{2+}$ $(Z=25)$: $[Ar] 3d^5$. Unpaired electrons = $5$.$Co^{2+}$ $(Z=27)$: $[Ar] 3d^7$. Unpaired electrons = $3$.$Ni^{2+}$ $(Z=28)$: $[Ar] 3d^8$. Unpaired electrons = $2$.$Cr^{2+}$ $(Z=24)$: $[Ar] 3d^4$. Unpaired electrons = $4$.Step $2$: Compare the number of unpaired electrons.$Fe^{2+}$ has $4$ unpaired electrons and $Cr^{2+}$ has $4$ unpaired electrons.Therefore, the pair $Fe^{2+}$ and $Cr^{2+}$ has the same number of unpaired electrons.

Which of the following pairs of elements in their respective oxidation states have the same number of unpaired electrons?
