Imp questions on Electron Configuration

In this post, the user has provided a series of Imp MCQ questions on Electron Configuration related to the electronic configurations of different atoms and ions. The questions cover topics such as the number of valence electrons in an atom, the electronic configuration of ions such as Cr+, Cu+, Cu2+, Cl-, and K+, the outermost principle quantum number of Fe, the subshell in which the valence electron enters in Fe, the maximum number of electrons in a d subshell and the subshells that exist in an atom. Additionally, the questions also cover the number of orbitals in different subshells such as p, d, and f, and which elements provide evidence for the 4f and 3d subshells in the periodic table.
