Which of the following ions has the electronic configuration 3d³ ?

Given: Which of the following ions has the electronic configuration 3d³ ? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: V (Z = 23) has 3d³ 4s². This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: For V^{2+, 2 electrons from 4s are lost, leaving 3d³ . Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.

The catalytic property of transition metals is due to:

Variable oxidation states allow transition metals to facilitate electron transfer in catalytic reactions. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Which of the following ions is colored due to d-d transitions?

Ni^{2+ (Z = 28): 3d⁸ . Partially filled d orbitals allow d-d transitions, causing a green color in aqueous solution. This follows from latest NCERT 2026-27 principle explaining the concept clearly for NEET students in simple steps as per rationalized syllabus.
