Which of these ions have six d electrons in the outermost d subshell?
Which of the following ions have six d electrons in their outermost d subshell: Os²⁺, Zn²⁺, Ru²⁺, Tc²⁺, Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, or Y²⁺? Additionally, which of these ions have ten d electrons in their outermost d subshell: Zn²⁺, Tc²⁺, Fe²⁺, Y²⁺, Cd²⁺, Lr²⁺, or Sc²⁺?

Look up each Wikipedia entry for each element (RH panel) and knock off the outermost (s) e⁻s to give correct charge:
Os^2+: [Xe] 4f^14 5d^6 ✔
Zn^2+: [Ar] 3d^10
Ru^2+: [Kr] 4d^6 ✔
Tc^2+: [Kr] 4d^5
Mn2+: [Ar] 3d^5
Fe2+: [Ar] 3d^6 ✔ (Fe, Ru, and Os are in Group 8 and all give nd^6 on loss of two e⁻s)
Y^2+: [Kr] 4d^1
Zn^2+: [Ar] 3d^10 ✔
Tc^2+: [Kr] 4d^5
Fe2+: [Ar] 3d^6
Y^2+: [Kr] 4d^1
Cd^2+: [Kr] 4^10 ✔
Lr^2+: [Rn] 5f^14 6d^1 (lawrencium??)
Sc^2+:[Ar] 3d^1
