Identify the order in which the spin only magnetic moment (in BM) increases for the following four ions
Options
- AI,II,IV,III
- BIV,I,II,III
- CIII,IV,I,II
- DIII,II,IV,I
Correct answer
D. III,II,IV,I
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic moment ( ) is given as = n(n+2) where, n is number of unpaired electrons. Ti ²⁺:[ Ar ] 3 d^2 ; number of unpaired electrons =2 Cu ²⁺:[ Ar ] 3 d^9 ; number of unpaired electrons =1 V ²⁺:[ Ar ] 3 d^3 ; number of unpaired electrons =3 Hence, the increasing order of magnetic moment is as Cu ²⁺ < Ti ²⁺ < V ²⁺ < Fe ²⁺ .
