Give the electronic configuration for Fe³⁺ A)1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²4d³ B)1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹3d³ C)1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁵ D)1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²4p³

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electronic configuration provided in option C follows the correct order of filling the orbitals based on the Aufbau principle and Pauli exclusion principle. It also correctly denotes the states of the electrons (S or P) and the number of electrons in each orbital. The other options have errors in the order of filling orbitals or the number of electrons in certain orbitals.
