Concept explainers
Rank the following ions in order of increasing number of unpaired electrons: Tr3+, Fe2+, V3+, Cu+, Mn4+.

Interpretation: It should be ranked the given set of ions in increasing order of number of unpaired electrons.
Concept Introduction:
- Aufbau Principle tells that the orbital with the lower energy is filled with electrons first and then the filling of higher energy orbital follows. By using this, valence orbital diagram can be draw for any atoms or ions.
- Electronic configuration is the arrangement of the electrons of atoms in the orbital. The electronic configurations are writing for atoms and ions, in accordance with Pauli Exclusion Principle and Hund’s rule.
- According to Pauli Exclusion Principle, no two electrons having the same spin can occupy the same orbital.
- According to Hund’s rule, the orbital in the subshell is filled singly by one electron before the same orbital is doubly filled. When the orbital is singly filled, all the electrons have same spin. In a doubly filled orbital, there are two electrons with opposite spin.
To determine the increasing order of unpaired electrons present in the given set of ions.
