A transition elements with atomic number 24 will have its magnetic moment
Options
- A5.92 BM
- B6.93 BM
- Cit will be diamagnetic
- Dit will be more than 8 BM
Correct answer
B. 6.93 BM
Step-by-step solution
Outer electronic configuration of the element with atomic number 24 is 3 d⁵ 4 s¹ . Number of unpaired electrons =6 aligned &= n(n+2) BM = 6(6+2) = 48 &=6.928=6.93 BM aligned
