Which of the following ions has the maximum magnetic moment in aqueous solution ?A. `Fe^(2+)`B. `Ti^(2+)`C. `Mn^(2+)`D. `Cr^(2+)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - C The magnitude of magnetic moment is directly related to the number of unpaired electrons: `Ti(Z = 22):[Ar]3d^(2)4s^(2)`, thus `Ti^(2+)`has `2` unpaired electorns. `Cr(Z = 24):[Ar]3d^(5)4s^(1)`, thus `Cr^(2+)`has `4` unpaired electrons. `Mn(Z = 25): [Ar]3d^(5)4s^(2)`, thus `Mn^(2+)`has `5` unpaired electrons. `Fe(Z = 26):[Ar]3d^(6)4s^(2)`, thus `Fe^(2+)`has `4` unpaired electorns. |
