Detailed Solution

Electronic configuration of the elements are:

Fe2+:1s22s22p63s23p63d6

number of d-electrons=6

Fe2+:1s22s22p63s23p64s23d6-has 6 electrons in d-orbital i.e. same as in d- robital of Fe2+

Ne:1s22s22p6-has 6 electrons in p-orbital i.e. same as in d- robital of  Fe2+
 

Mg:1s22s22p63s2-has (2+2+2) 6 electrons in s-orbital i.e. same as in d- robital of Fe2+
 

Cl:1s22s22p63s23p5-has (6+5) 11 electrons in p-orbital and are not same as in d- orbital of Fe2+.
