Answer the question on the basis of passage given below :
All transition elements display typical metallic properties like high melting point, boiling point, tensile strength, high malleability and ductility, luster, etc. Their metallic character increases down the group and elements of \(4 d\) and 5d series exhibit higher metallic characters. They show variable oxidation states and forms a number of coloured compounds due to the presence of unpaired electrons which shows d-d transitions and makes them paramagnetic.
A group-IV element \(X\) shows magnetic moment of 1.73 BM , its oxidation state is?
- A \(\text{X}^{+}\)
- B \(\text{X}^{2+}\)
- C \(\text{X}^{3+}\)
- D \(\text{X}^{4+}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\text{X}^{3+}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)}\) \(1.73 = \sqrt{n(n+2)}\) \(n=1\) Group IV transition elements have general configuration \( (n-1)d^2 ns^2 \). To have 1 unpaired electron, the ion must have a \(d^1\) configuration. To go from \(d^2 s^2\) to \(d^1\), three electrons must be lost (two…
