  1. Mg2+
  2. Ti3+
  3. V3+
  4. Fe2+

Fe2+ has the maximum number of unpaired electrons because they have valence electrons in the d-orbital, the d-block elements are also known as transition metals.

Why Fe2+ has the Maximum Number of Unpaired Electrons

  • In the periodic table, d-block elements are situated between s-block and p-block elements.
  • Because they behave in a way that transitions between s-block and p-block components, these d-block elements are known as transition elements.
  • D-block element valence shell electronic configuration is (n- 1)d1-10 ns1-2.
  • The 3d series, 4d series, and 5d series are three different sets of transitional elements.
  • 3D series begins with Scandium (Sc) and end with Zinc (Zn).
  • From Yttrium (Y) through Cadmium, the 4d series begins (Cd).
  • Except for Cerium (Ce) and Lutetium, the 5d series begins with Lanthanum (La) and ends with Mercury (Hg) (Lu).

Summary:-

Which of the following has the Maximum Number of Unpaired Electrons? Mg2+ Ti3+ V3+ Fe2+

The maximum number of unpaired electrons is present in Fe2+. It contains valence electrons in d-orbital and are called transition metals.
