What is the spin-only magnetic moment value (B.M.) of a divalent metal ion with atomic number 25 , in its aqueous solution?
Options
- A5 . 92
- B5 . 0
- Czero
- D5 . 26
Correct answer
A. 5 . 92
Step-by-step solution
Electronic configuration of divalent metal ion having atomic number 25 is Total number of unpaired electrons = 5 μ (Magnetic moment) = n ( n + 2 ) BM where n = number of unpaired e ∴ μ = 5 ( 5 + 2 ) = 35   B . M . = 5 . 92   B . M .
