Interpretation:
The four different metal ions are given in the statement, many of the ions correctly matched in same electronic configuration but one of the ions does not matched in respective electronic configuration. In this connection fourth (
Concept Introduction:
Electronic configuration: The electronic configuration is the distribution of electrons (e-) of an given molecule or respective atoms in atomic or molecular orbitals.
The Aufbau’s principle: This rule statues that ground state of an atom or ions electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest available energy levels before occupying higher levels. If consider the 1s shell is filled the 2s subshell is occupied.
Hund's Rule: The every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied with one electron before any one orbital is doubly occupied, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin.

- <p>When a transition metal atom forms an ion, which electrons are lost first?arrow_forwardWhich transition-metal ion with a 3+ charge has the electron configuration [Kr]4d5 ?arrow_forwardBy using CFT, draw the d-electron configuration of [PtCl4]2¯. Is the ion paramagnetic or diamagnetic?arrow_forward
- Which of the following is diamagnetic?arrow_forward1. Which of the following statements is correct?a. The transition metals have little variability in their ionization energies and electronegativities due to their similar valence electron shells.b. Transition metals are characterized by the formation of many diamagnetic compounds due to the presence of unpaired d electrons.c. One difference between transition metals and main group metals is the latter’s ability to form coordination complexes.d. Transition metals are characterized by many oxidation states due to the high reactivity of the unpaired d electrons. 2. Which of the following statements about atomic radii accurately describes the data in the photo attached?a. The elements right after the d-block experience an expansion due to the repulsion created by the d electrons such that period 4 nonmetals are substantially larger than period 3 nonmetals.b. The minima of the graph correspond to the halides because they have the greatest effective nuclear charge.c. The transition metals…arrow_forwardWhat two first-row transition metals have unexpected electron configurations? A statement in the text says that first-row transition metal ions do not have 4s electrons. Why not? Why do transition metal ions often have several oxidation states, whereas representative metals generally have only one?arrow_forward
