The magnetic moment of a divalent ion in aqueous solution if the atomic number of metal is 25 will be
Options
- A5.92 BM
- B1.73 BM
- C3.87 MM
- D4.90 BM
Correct answer
A. 5.92 BM
Step-by-step solution
Atomic number, (z)=25 for Mn electronic configuration of Mn =[ Ar ] 3 d^5 4 s^2 electronic configuration of Mn ²⁺=[ Ar ] 3 d^5 Thus, Mn ²⁺(a q) has 5 unpaired electrons. Magnetic moment is given by the formula. aligned _s & = n(n+2- = 5(5+2) = 35 B.M. & =5.92 B.M. aligned
