Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 26 and 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \begin{aligned} & { }_{26} \mathrm{Fe}=1 s^2, 2 s^2 2 p^6, 3 s^2 3 p^6, 4 s^2, 3 d^6 \\ & { }_{26} \mathrm{Fe} \longrightarrow{ }_{26} \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} \end{aligned} \] Hence, atomic number of iron \((\mathrm{Fe})\) is 26 and \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) have 4 unpaired electrons in…
