Arrange the following in the decreasing order of their magnetic moment values:
A. Sc (Z=21)
B. V (Z=23)
C. Mn (Z=25)
D. Fe (Z=26)
E. Ni (Z=28)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A C > D > B > A > E
  2. B C > D > A > E > B
  3. C D > C > B > A > E
  4. D C > D > B > E > A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) C > D > B > E > A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A. Sc (Z=21): \([Ar]3d^1 4s^2\), \(n=1\) \(\mu_A = \sqrt{1(1+2)} = \sqrt{3} \approx 1.73\) BM B. V (Z=23): \([Ar]3d^3 4s^2\), \(n=3\) \(\mu_B = \sqrt{3(3+2)} = \sqrt{15} \approx 3.87\) BM C. Mn (Z=25): \([Ar]3d^5 4s^2\), \(n=5\) \(\mu_C = \sqrt{5(5+2)} = \sqrt{35} \approx 5.92\)…
