Calculate the magnetic moment of a divalent ion in aqueous solution if its atomic number is 25.A. `3.0 BM`B. `4.9 BM`C. `5.9BM`D. `6.9 BM` |
Answer» Correct Answer - C Atomic number `25` corresponds to the first transition series. For these elements, the magnetic moment associted with unpaired electron is given as `mu = sqrt(n(n +1))` where `n` is the number of unpaired electrons. `(Z = 25)rArr 1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(6)3d^(5)4s^(2)`. After the removal of `2e^(-)s`, it become `[Ar] 3d^(5)`having unpiared eletrons. thus, `mu = sqrt(5(5+2))BM = 5.9 BM` |
