A. p-electrons in Ne(Z = 10)

B. s-electrons in Mg(Z = 12)

C. d-electrons in Fe(Z = 26)

D. p-electrons in CI(Z = 17)

    Answer will be C & D both.
    Since Fe²+(26) have total d - electron = 6.
    In Cl(17) Total p- electron = 11, that is not equal to 6 ( Fe²+)
    Also Fe(26) have total d- electron = 8, not equal to that of Fe²+.

    Fe+2 = 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2, 3p6,4s1,3d5
    or 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2, 3p6,4s2,3d4
    Cl = 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2, 3p5
    Fe = 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2, 3p6,4s2,3d6
    Mg = 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2
    Ne = 1s2,2s2,2p6

    Question is about {not equal d-electrons}
    d-electrons are only present in Fe and Fe+
    given answer in wrong

    Fe2+ = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d4
    but cl = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5
    how is this right answer?

    Electronic Distribution for
    Fe (26) ...... 3d 8 but Fe+2 (24) ....... 3d 6
    Ne (10) ....2p 6
    Mg (12) ...3s 2
    Cl (17) ...3p 5
    The Correct Answer is : A. p-electrons in Ne(Z = 10)

    write out the electron configurations.

    Fe2+ has no electrons in d orbitals and neither does Cl.
