The spin only magnetic moment of \(\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}(\) in \(\mathrm{BM})\) in aqueous solution will be

  1. A \(1.73\)
  2. B \(2.84\)
  3. C \(3.42\)
  4. D \(2.25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2.84\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electronic configuration of \(\mathrm{Ni}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^{8} 4 s^{2}\) \(\therefore\) Number of unpaired electrons \(=2\) \[ \begin{aligned} \therefore \text { Magnetic moment }(\mu) &=\sqrt{n(n+2)} \\ &=\sqrt{2(2+2)}=\sqrt{8}=2.84 . \end{aligned} \]
