Which of the following is not arranged in the correct sequence?
Options
- AMO , M 2 O 3 , MO 2 , M 2 O 5 - Decreasing basic nature
- BS c ,   V ,   C r ,   M n - Increasing number of oxidation states
- Cd 5 , d 3 , d 1 , d 4 - Increasing magnetic moment
- DMn 2 + , Fe 2 + , Cr 2 + , Co 2 + - decreasing stability
Correct answer
C. d 5 , d 3 , d 1 , d 4 - Increasing magnetic moment
Step-by-step solution
We know that as d - subshell possess five orbitals, and it can accommodate maximum 10 electrons i.e. 2 in each orbital and also magnetic moment can be given by μ = n ( n + 2 ) from the above formula we can observe that as the number of unpaired electrons increases, the magnetic moment also increases. Hence, the correct order of increasing magnetic moment will be d 5 > d 4 > d 3 > d 1
