The number of d-electrons in Fe2+ (Z=26) is not equal to the number of electrons in which one of the following?
  1. s-electrons in Mg Z=12
  2. p-electrons in Cl Z=17
  3. d-electrons in Fe Z=26
  4. p-electrons in Ne Z=10

Solution

26Fe2+18Ar 3d6 ; 6 d-electrons
17Cl1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 ; 11 p-electrons
Mg=1s22s22p63s2 ; 6 s-electrons
d-electrons in Fe=18Ar3d6=6
p-electrons in Ne=1s22s22p6=6
