The spin only magnetic moment of Mn ⁴⁺ ion is nearly
Options
- A3 BM
- B6 BM
- C4 BM
- D5 BM
Correct answer
C. 4 BM
Step-by-step solution
The electronic configuration of Mn is gathered ₂₅ Mn =[ Ar ] 3 ~d ⁵ 4 ~s ² Mn ⁴⁺=[ Ar ] 3 ~d ³ gathered Thus, three unpaired electrons are present. Spin only magnetic moment, = n(n+2) n=3 aligned &= 3(3+2) &= 15 =3.87 aligned =4 BM
