(C) \(Cu^{2+}\)
(D) \(Zn^{2+}\)
(E) \(Mn^{2+}\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A) and (B) only
  2. B (C) and (D) only
  3. C (A) and (D) only
  4. D (D) and (E) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (A) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Sc^{3+}\): \([Ar]\). Unpaired electrons = 0. \(Ti^{3+}\): \([Ar]3d^1\). Unpaired electrons = 1. \(Cu^{2+}\): \([Ar]3d^9\). Unpaired electrons = 1. \(Zn^{2+}\): \([Ar]3d^{10}\). Unpaired electrons = 0. \(Mn^{2+}\): \([Ar]3d^5\). Unpaired electrons = 5. Ions with zero unpaired…
