Which of the following ions has the highest magnetic moment?
Options
- AZn ²⁺
- BTi ³⁺
- CSc ³⁺
- DMn ²⁺
Correct answer
D. Mn ²⁺
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic moment no. of unpaired electron. Zn ²⁺=3 d¹⁰ 4 s^0 unpaired electron =0 ; =0 T I ³⁺=3 d¹⁰ 4 s^0 unpaired electron=1 = n(n+2) =1.73 Sc ³⁺=3 d^0 4 s^0 unpaired electron =0 ; =0 Mn ²⁺=3 d^5 4 s^0 unpaired electrons =5 = 5(5+2) =5.91
