Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 5.92 BM

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Atomic number, \((z)=25\) for Mn electronic configuration of \(\mathrm{Mn}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^5 4 s^2\) electronic configuration of \(\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^5\) Thus, \(\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}(a q)\) has 5 unpaired electrons. Magnetic moment is given by the formula.…
