Calculate the magnetic moment (spin-only) of a trivalent ion in aqueous solution if its atomic number is 22 .

  1. A 1.44 BM
  2. B 1.73 BM
  3. C 2.84 BM
  4. D \(0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1.73 BM

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Ti\) is atomic number 22. \(Ti: [Ar] 3d^2 4s^2\) \(Ti^{3+}: [Ar] 3d^1\) Number of unpaired electrons, \(n = 1\). \(\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)} BM = \sqrt{1(1+2)} BM = \sqrt{3} BM\) \(\mu = 1.732 BM\)
