Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 5.92 BM

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mn (\(Z=25\)): \([Ar] 3d^5 4s^2\) Mn\(^{2+}\): \([Ar] 3d^5\) Unpaired electrons, \(n=5\) \(\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)}\) BM \(\mu = \sqrt{5(5+2)}\) BM \(\mu = \sqrt{35}\) BM \(\mu \approx 5.92\) BM
