Describe giving reason which one of the following pairs has the property indicated ? (i) Fe or Cu has higher melting point. (ii) Co^92+) and Ni^(2+) has lowe magnetic moment. |

Answer» Solution :(i)Fehas highermelting point than CU. This is becauseFe has four UNPAIREDELECTRONS in 3d -subshell while Cu has only one electron in the 4s-subshell. Hence, METALLIC bonds in Fe are much stronger than those in CU. (ii) `._(27) Co = [Ar] 3d^(7) 4s^(2) ,Co^(2+)= [ Ar] 3d^(7) ( 3 ` unpaired electron) `. _(28) (Ni) =[Ar] 3d^(8) 4s^(2) , Ni^(2+) = [Ar] 3d^(8) ( 2` unpaired electrons) Hence, Ni has lower magnetic MOMENT than Co. |
