Which of the following does not have valence electron in 3 d -subshell?
Options
- AFe (III)
- BCr (I)
- CMn (II)
- DP (0)
Correct answer
D. P (0)
Step-by-step solution
Phosphorus (P) has electronic configuration 1 s^2, 2 s^2, 2 p^ 6, 3 s^ 2, 3 p^3 Therefore, no valence electron is present in the 3 d subshell. Fe (III) has electronic configuration : aligned & 3 d^5 4 s^0 & Cr ( I ): 3 d^5 4 s^0 & Mn ( II ): 3 d^5 4 s^0 aligned
