Question
Chemistry Question on Electronic Configurations Of Elements And The Periodic Table
Which of the following does not have valence electron in 3d-subshell?
A
Fe (III)
B
Mn (II)
C
Cr (I)
D
P (0)
Answer
P (0)
Explanation
Solution
Phosphorus (P) has electronic configuration
1s2,2s2,2p6.3s2,3p3
Therefore, no valence electron is present in the 3d-subshell.
Fe(III) has electronic configuration : 3d54s0
Cr(I):3d545∘
Mn(II):3d54s0
