I'm reviewing for my final. This is an old problem that I got correct (option a), but I can't remember how. I know that SeCl2 is AX2E2, which is sp3, but I'm stuck trying to figure out how I chose option a and not option b. How do I know the difference in the amount of arrows (e-) in the p orbital boxes? Thanks :)

Using only the periodic table and the rules we learned in class, write the ground state electronic structure of the ground state of the Zn2+ in condensed notation.Use this sample format to enter your answer: [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p2 (the electronic structure of Pb). The outer shell orbitals must be listed with increasing n first and increasing l second as in this example. Do not list empty orbitals. The atomic symbol of the noble gas must be typed exactly and in the correct case.

Draw an orbital diagram with boxes as shown in Figure 1 for the Zn2+, Cu2+, Co2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, and Cr3+ ions in the absence of solvent molecules. Use up and down arrows to represent the spin of electrons. Only two electrons can occupy a single box. Make sure to follow Hund’s rule as you fill the orbitals with electrons. This diagram represents the ground state of the ion in the absence of solvent.
