Molybdenum and Rhodium, I believe. All of the elements in these 2 groups follow unusual orbital filling rules.

Hope this helped!

Answer: The elements that have 3 unpaired electrons in their +3 oxidation states are Molybdenum and Palladium.

Explanation: The elements in the second transition series are:

Yttrium (Y), Zirconium (Zr), Niobium (Nb), Molybdenum (Mo), Technetium (Tc), Ruthenium (Ru), Rhodium (Rh), Palladium (Pd), Silver (Ag) and Cadmium (Cd).

The electronic configuration of these elements are:

Y=[Kr]5s^24d^1             ;      Y^{3+}=[Kr]

Zr=[Kr]5s^24d^2           ;      Zr^{3+}=[Kr]4d^1

Nb=[Kr]5s^14d^4           ;      Nb^{3+}=[Kr]4d^2

Mo=[Kr]5s^14d^5           ;     Mo^{3+}=[Kr]4d^3

Tc=[Kr]5s^14d^6            ;     Tc^{3+}=[Kr]4ds^4

Ru=[Kr]5s^14d^7            ;     Ru^{3+}=[Kr]4d^5

Rh=[Kr]5s^14d^8            ;     Rh^{3+}=[Kr]4d^6

Pd=[Kr]5s^04d^{10}          ;     Pd^{3+}=[Kr]4d^7

Ag=[Kr]5s^14d^{10}           ;     Ag^{3+}=[Kr]4d^8

Cd=[Kr]5s^24d^{10}          ;     Cd^{3+}=[Kr]4d^9

From the above configurations of the elements in their +3 ionic state, the elements having 3 unpaired electrons are Molybdenum and Palladium.

Which of the following is true in regard to ions? A. A cation will hold a positive charge if it gains one or more electrons. B.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

B. An ionized atom has a number of protons that is unequal to the number of electrons.

Explanation:

For a neutral atom , the number of proton and electron is equal. An ionized atom has either loss or gain electron, thereby making the number of proton and electron unequal. The answer B is true because an ionized atom has either loss or gain electron to make the number of electron and proton unequal.

Option A is incorrect because a cations holds a positive charge when it loss one or more electron not when it gains one or more electron(s). Anions possess negative charge for gaining electron(s).

Option C is not true because ions can also carry negative charges and they are called anions.

Option D is false because losing one or more electron will turn an atom to a cations.
