Which transition metal ion \(\text{M}^{2+}\) gives magnetic moment 5.92 BM?
- A \(\text{Mn}^{2+}\)
- B \(\text{Cr}^{2+}\)
- C \(\text{Fe}^{2+}\)
- D \(\text{Ni}^{2+}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\text{Mn}^{2+}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)}\) \(5.92 = \sqrt{n(n+2)}\) \(n \approx 5\) For \(\text{Mn}^{2+}\): Mn (\(Z=25\)) has \([\text{Ar}] 3d^5 4s^2\). \(\text{Mn}^{2+}\) has \([\text{Ar}] 3d^5\). Number of unpaired electrons \(n = 5\).

The noble gases He to Rn have close shell configuration and are monoatomic gases under normal conditions. Though mostly unreactive, but direct reaction of Xe with \(F_2\) leads to a series of compounds with Xe oxidation numbers \(+2,+4\) and +6 . When certain compounds like phenol and quinol are crystallised in the presence of noble gas such as \(Ar , Kr\) and Xe a category of compound called clathrates are formed. In these the noble gas atoms are trapped in the cavities of the crystal lattices. The compounds which crystallise are known as hosts (H) while the noble gas atoms are called guests ( \(G\) ). The general formula of a clathrate compound is \(n H m G\), where \(n\) is the number of host molecules and m is the number of atoms a molecule of guest.

Carbohydrates are naturally formed organic compounds from various plants. The common chemical formula, \(C _x\left( H _2 O \right)_y\), was considered as hydrates of carbon to derive the various carbohydrates. For instance, the general formula for glucose ( \(C _6 H _{12} O _6\) ) easily fits into the above formula. Carbohydrates also called saccharides are classified on the basis of their behavior towards hydrolysis. Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolyzed further to simpler units of polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketones. About 20 monosaccharides are known to occur in nature. Carbohydrates that yield large number of monosaccharide units are called polysaccharides. Amino acids contain ( \(- NH _2\) ) and ( - COOH ), which can be classified in various forms. Proteins are polymers of alpha amino acids which are connected to each other by a peptide bond or peptide linkage. When a native protein is subjected to physical change, its globules unfold and helix get uncoiled and the protein loses its biological activity. The protein is said to be denaturated.
