Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Iron has atomic number =26 . Configuration of Fe=[.Ar].3d64s2 After the removal of two electrons, the configuration becomes, [.Ar].3d64s0 <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-chvbg25ynoeqod9f.jpg" /> There are four unpaired electrons.

Q. How many unpaired electrons are present in $F e^{2 +}$ ion?

Iron has atomic number $= 26$ .
Configuration of $F e = [A r] 3 d^{6} 4 s^{2}$
After the removal of two electrons, the configuration becomes, $[A r] 3 d^{6} 4 s^{0}$
There are four unpaired electrons.
