Which one of the following transition metal ions is diamagnetic?

Which one of the following transition metal ions is diamagnetic?

Options

  1. ACo2+\mathrm{Co}^{2+}
  2. BNi2+\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}
  3. CCu2+\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}
  4. DZn2+\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}

Correct answer

D. Zn2+\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}

Step-by-step solution

Transition metal ion having absence of unpaired electron is diamagnetic. (1) Co2+=[Ar]3d7\mathrm{Co}^{2+}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^7 (three unpaired electrons) (2) Ni2+=[Ar]3d8\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^8 (two unpaired electrons) (3) Cu2+=[Ar]3d9\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^9 (one unpaired electron) (4) Zn2+=[Ar]3d10\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^{10} (no unpaired electron) Thus, Zn2+\mathrm{Zn}^{2+} is diamagnetic.
