Magnetic moment of Cr^ 2+ is nearest to

Magnetic moment of Cr2+\mathrm{Cr}^{2+} is nearest to

Options

  1. AFe2+\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}
  2. BMn2+\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}
  3. CCo2+\mathrm{Co}^{2+}
  4. DNi2+\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}

Correct answer

A. Fe2+\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}

Step-by-step solution

Cr2+=3d4\mathrm{Cr}^{2+}=3 d^4, No. of unpaired electrons (n)=4(n)=4 Magnetic moment =(+2)BM=\sqrt{(+2)} \mathrm{BM} =4(4+2)=24=4.89BM=\sqrt{4(4+2)}=\sqrt{24}=4.89 \mathrm{BM} Fe2+=3d6\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}=3 d^6, No. of unpaired electrons (n)=4(n)=4 Magnetic moment =4(4+2)BM=\sqrt{4(4+2)} \mathrm{BM} =24=4.89BM=\sqrt{24}=4.89 \mathrm{BM} Mn2+=3d5\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}=3 d^5, No. of unpaired electrons (n)=5(n)=5 Magnetic moment =5(5+2)BM=\sqrt{5(5+2)} \mathrm{BM} =35=5.91BM=\sqrt{35}=5.91 \mathrm{BM} Co2+=3d7\mathrm{Co}^{2+}=3 d^7, No. of unpaired electrons (n)=3(n)=3 Magnetic moment =3(3+2)BM=\sqrt{3(3+2)} \mathrm{BM} =15=3.87BM=\sqrt{15}=3.87 \mathrm{BM} Ni2+=3d8\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}=3 d^8, No. of unpaired electrons (n)=2(n)=2 Magnetic moment =2(2+2)BM=\sqrt{2(2+2)} \mathrm{BM} =⊛=2.82BM=\sqrt{\circledast}=2.82 \mathrm{BM}
