Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainChemistryStructure of Atom
Which of these species will have non-zero magnetic moment?
Options
- ANa ⁺
- BMg
- CF⁻
- DA r⁺
Correct answer
D. A r⁺
Step-by-step solution
Key point The species which has one or more unpaired electrons have non-zero magnetic moment. Electronic configuration of array l Na ⁺(Z=11)=1 s ² 2 s ² 2 p⁶ Mg (Z=12)=1 s ² 2 s ² 2 p⁶ 3 s ² F ⁻(Z=9)=1 s ² 2 s² 2 p⁶ Ar ⁺(Z=18)=1 s ² 2 s ² 2 p⁶ 3 s ² 3 p⁵ array As, Ar ⁺ has an unpaired electron, it has non-zero magnetic moment. Hence, (d) is the correct option.
