Detailed Solution

The electronic configuration of Fe atom is

Fe[Ar]4s23d6

Fe+2[Ar]4s03d6 [6 electrons in d -orbital]

The electronic configuration of Cl atom is

Cl = 1s22s22p63s23p5[11 electrons in p -orbital]

The chlorine atom's p orbital can hold the (6+5 = 11) electrons. The six electrons in the d-orbital of the Fe2+ atom are distinct from the p-electrons in the chlorine atom.
