Select the atoms whose ions have an electron configuration of nd5(n = 3, 4, 5 ...). For example, the 2+ ion for V ends the electron configuration with 3d 3.
Ir
Rn
Fe
Pa
Y
Re

Answer :

syed514
Ir = [Xe] 4f14 5d7 6s2 
Rn = [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p6 
Fe = [Ar] 3d6 4s2 
Pa = [Rn] 5f2 6d1 7s2 
Y = [Kr] 4d1 5s2 
Re = [Xe] 4f14 5d5 6s2 
So only Rhenium (Re) has an electronic configuration where the d orbital has 5 electrons in it.

Answer: The atoms whose ions have electronic configuration as [tex]nd^5[/tex] are Iridium (Ir), Iron (Fe) and Rhenium (Re)

Explanation:

An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.

For the given elements:

Iridium:  The electronic configuration of this element is [tex][Xe]6s^25d^7[/tex]. The stable oxidation state of iridium is +4.

The electronic configuration of [tex]Ir^{4+}[/tex] is [tex][Xe]5d^5[/tex]

Radon:  The electronic configuration of this element is [tex][Xe]6s^25d^{10}6p^6[/tex]. This is a stable element.

Iron:  The electronic configuration of this element is [tex][Ar]4s^23d^6[/tex]. The stable oxidation state of iron is +3.

The electronic configuration of [tex]Fe^{3+}[/tex] is [tex][Ar]3d^5[/tex]

Protactinium:  The electronic configuration of this element is [tex][Rn]7s^26d^15f^2[/tex]. The stable oxidation state of protactinium is +3.

The electronic configuration of [tex]Pa^{3+}[/tex] is [tex][Rn]7s^2[/tex]

Ytterium:  The electronic configuration of this element is [tex][Kr]5s^24d^1[/tex]. The stable oxidation state of ytterium is +3.

The electronic configuration of [tex]Y^{3+}[/tex] is [tex][Ar]4s^23d^{10}4p^6[/tex]

Rhenium:  The electronic configuration of this element is [tex][Xe]6s^25d^5[/tex]. The stable oxidation state of rhenium is +2.

The electronic configuration of [tex]Re^{2+}[/tex] is [tex][Xe]5d^5[/tex]

Hence, the atoms whose ions have electronic configuration as [tex]nd^5[/tex] are Iridium (Ir), Iron (Fe) and Rhenium (Re)
