A `M^(2+)` ion derived from a metal in the first transition metal series has four electrons in `3d` subshell. What element might `M` be? |
Answer» Correct Answer - Chromium `{:(,"Electron configuration of "M^(2+)is:,,[Ar]^(18)4s^(@)3d^(4)),( :.,"Electron configuration of"M is:,,[Ar]^(18)4s^(1)3d^(5)("and not" 5s^(2)3d^(4))):}` So total number of electrons `= 24`. Hence, metal `M` is chromium `(Cr)`. |
