Which one of the following ions is the most stable in aqueous solution?
(At No. 25)
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
In aqueous solution the configuration of the ions are following
We know that half-filled and fully filled orbitals are more stable than partially filled orbitals. Hence among the given ions the only ion which occupies half-filled orbitals.
Caution
Although ion has half-filled but there is one more electron filled in orbital which reduces the stability.
