Solution

The correct option is D

CrandCu


The correct option is (D):

Explanation for the correct answers:

CrandCu:

  1. Chromium (Cr) and (Cu) are the exceptions of the 3d transition series which will show the anomalous electric configuration.
  2. Cr and Cu basically attain the extra stability of the half-filled and the full-filled electronic configuration by the changing of expected pattern of electric configuration.
  3. The Electronic configuration of Cr is: [Ar]3d54s1
  4. The Electronic configuration of Cu is: [Ar]3d104s1
  5. So, in both the cases an electron from the 4s orbital jumps to the 3d subshell as it is more stable due to the half-filled and full-filled stable configuration.

Explanation for the incorrect options:

Option (A): CuandZn

  1. Electronic configuration for: Cu is [Ar]3d104s1
  2. Electronic configuration for Znis: [Ar]3d104s2
  3. Anomalous electronic configuration in 3d series is of Cu and not Zn.
  4. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option (B): CrandFe

  1. Electronic configuration for Cr is [Ar]3d54s1
  2. Electronic configuration for Fe is [Ar]3d64s2
  3. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option (C): FeandCu

  1. Electronic configuration for Fe is [Ar]3d64s2
  2. Electronic configuration for Cu is [Ar]3d104s1
  3. Anomalous electronic configuration in 3d series is of Cu and not Fe.
  4. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct option is (D): CrandCu
