You are watching: Indium(iii) ion electron configuration
He stated that the electronic configuration of $$\ce{In^3+=
He didn"t include the $\ce{4d^10}$ orbital. He said it doesn"t matter and if we write the full E.C out it"s incorrect. It basically goes against everything we studied in 1st year general inter-base.net. Also I believe he didn"t take into account the fact that $\ce{In^3+}$ has $46 \, e^-$ not $49 \, e^-$.
Should the electronic configuration not be $$\ce{
Can someone shed some light on whether he is right.

Yup, it"s $<\ce{Kr}>4d^{10}$. Post-transition ($p$-block) elements rarely if ever ionize or even covalently bond their $d$ subshell electrons. Although we use the bracketed core designation only for noble gas cores, by the time we get to Group 12 or 13 the $d$ electrons are also effectively part of the core.
