The electronic configuration of Fe(II) ion is [Ar] 3d6
Is it true that the electronic configuration of Fe(II) ion is [Ar] 3d6?
The electronic configuration of a neutral iron atom is [Ar] 3d6 4s2, so losing two electrons to form the Fe(II) ion leaves the valence configuration as [Ar] 3d6. This is a matter of basic definition in inorganic chemistry and does not require citation.
Verdict: COMMON KNOWLEDGE · 0 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
