Which pair of elements from following has half filled d-orbital in observed electronic configuration?
Options
- ACu and Mn
- BMn and Cr
- CZn and Co
- DCu and Zn
Correct answer
B. Mn and Cr
Step-by-step solution
The elements which have half-filled d-orbital in their observed electronic configuration are: Mn ( Z =25) : [ Ar ] 3 ~d ^5 4 ~s ^2 and Cr ( Z =24):[ Ar ] 3 ~d ^5 4 ~s ^1
